Crinoid Fossil

Ancestors of this fossilized, ancient cousin to starfish still exist in warm oceans across the world. While around 700 species of crinoid -- sometimes called "sea lilies" -- exist today, they were much more abundant in the ancient past. This one is preserved in time and ready for a place of prominence in your collection.

Measuring around 7 x 5 x 1 inches, it is possible to make out striking details of the large crown of this stalked animal.
