This is a beautiful, 5.5″ wide plate of detailed fossil crinoids from Monroe County, Indiana. These fossils have been microscopically prepared using air abrasives, revealing their intricate details and three dimensional preservation. The three crinoids include two of the species Halysiocrinus tunicatus (3.4″ and 1.9″ long) and a Histocrinus coreyi (1.6″ long) crinoid.

It comes with an acrylic display 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.
