2.3" Fossil Crinoid (Zeacrinites) - Alabama
This is a very detailed, 2.3", fossil crinoid (Zeacrinites) from the Bangor Limestone, Franklin County, Alabama. It shows the calyx (body) and pinnules (feeding arms). Some of the rock in which this crinoid was found is still attached. The fossil near the top of the feeding arms is an unrelated marine organism.
Comes with acrylic stand.
Crinoids, sometimes commonly referred to as sea lilies, are animals, not plants. They are echinoderms related to starfish, sea urchins, and brittle stars. Many crinoid traits are like other members of their phylum; such traits include tube feet, radial symmetry, a water vascular system, and appendages in multiples of five (pentameral). They first appeared in the Ordovician (488 million years ago) and some species are still alive today.
Comes with acrylic stand.
