Today 2a ago my humans met this little #toad during #hedgewatch & found also this piece of #limestone with #fossils. The fossils are stems from #crinoids i.e. small animals also called #sealilies. We love this name

Two weeks ago, #MarcdeLussanet visited the 7th meeting of German-speaking #echinoderm researchers, where he showed that #sealilies, #starfish and other five-rayed animals underlie a #hexamer structure.
Big thanks to the organizers for a great event and the cool sea lily hat!

In a funny turn of events, someone thought the crinoid barge I recently posted was a speculative idea made up by me and not something actually known from the fossil record. I guess Sussocaris has made people extra cautious about what is and isn’t real.

In the Mesozoic there existed so-called crinoid barges, which were formed by sea lilies attaching themselves to the bottom of floating tree trunks. Some like Seirocrinus could grow up to 26 metres tall. Such barges do not exist anymore today, as the evolution of shipworms has vastly reduced the amount of driftwood in the oceans. #fossil #fossils #Mesozoic #jurassic #stippling #stipplingart #paleoart #paleontology #crinoid #crinoids #sealilies #ammonite #brachiopod #driftwood #invertebrates
