Just thinkin bout crinoids
On the 6th day of fossils, my true love gave to me...
6 Dimerocrinites crinoids.
This is a plate of early Silurian crinoids from Quebec in a tangled mess. With all the additional stems, you can imagine a "forest" of these crinoids on the seafloor.

This is a nice plate of crinoids I picked up unprepped at a fossil show for $8. It was in a "junk box" and I could only see 2 of the 4 crinoids.
It turned out pretty nice.
It's from the Mississippian Gilmore City Fm. of Iowa. Four unique species of crinoids.

Resembling the tiny parts of an impossibly intricate and eye-catching timepiece, strewn from a watchmakers toolkit, these are in fact fossil Crinoids, Corals, Bryozoans and Brachiopods.

Another plate with multiple crinoids, this one is Parisangulocrinus sp. from the lower Devonian Hunsruck slate near Bundenbach, Germany. This plate has 16 crinoids.

This is one of the most stunning crinoids in my collection. Gennaeocrinus mourantae from the Devonian Arkona Fm. of Ontario. A large pocket of these were found decades ago and very few have been found since.

This is a Mississippian aged crinoid, Taxocrinus, from the Indian Shale Fm. of Indiana.
I've collected this site a few times and found lots of blastoids. Crinoids are much less common.

A selection of fossilized Crinoid stems, preserved in a piece of a dark shale, concretion.
Crinoids are marine creatures, related to starfish and sea urchins.

A beautiful specimen of Euptychocrinus fimbriatus from the Ordovician Girardeau Limestone of Missouri.
These crinoids have 10 arms that would filter water for food.

This plate of crinoids is from Crawfordsville, Indiana. The Mississippian aged Edwardsville Fm. has tremendous density and diversity. There are over 85 crinoid species found here, often tangled together.

Crinoids can actually walk and even swim.
surprising, right?
I heard one even appeared in The Little Mermaid!

I finally have a nice LeGrand crinoid piece.
This Mississippian aged site in Iowa is famous for crinoids with preserved color. The darker crinoid is Rhodocrinites kirbyi and the lighter one is Platycrinites symmetricus.

Millions of years ago during the Silurian period, the Sahara Desert was a shallow sea full of aquatic animals like crinoids. Don’t be fooled! Crinoids are commonly called "sea lilies" but they aren't plants! They are echinoderms, like starfish and sea urchins, and many species are still alive today!
