Dr Katie StrangHere’s a wee assortment of Scottish carboniferous crinoids for #FossilFriday 🖤
CarolineCherry@palaeokatie Beautiful composition & please forgive me I initially thought biscuits! Are they all from the same period?
@stroppypanda yeah these are all Carboniferous from Fife 🖤
@palaeokatie Thankyou. I live in a ward where we have an interesting coastline & some fossils. It’s fascinating . I don’t always think of party rings 😂

Katharina@palaeokatie very cool. I have a piece of crinoid, too, but I found it at the coast of Wales.
@Katharina there’s lots of awesome carboniferous rocks in wales too 😍🖤
@palaeokatie ha yeah we went camping near Tenby and I knew you could find fossils around there but never in a million years did I think I would ACTUALLY find something.
Michael Daly@palaeokatie You’re here!
Martin Crutchley@palaeokatie Stonking examples! You've just reminded me that I have 3 buckets of unprepared ammonites I still need to see to!
@MDC please post pics when you prep them 😍

DoctorOctothorp@palaeokatie That's incredible! As a layperson I'd never think those were naturally occurring. Thanks for posting this fascinating image.
Will Buckingham | 白忠修@palaeokatie These are amazing!
The Duality of Xan@palaeokatie I am a big fan of crinoids, I mus say
davidjmyers@palaeokatie stunning!

That assortment of crinoid says to me "I've been learning how to carve and turn wood on a lathe. These are all the souvenirs of my learning experience." I'm sure their stories are more complex than that.
I used to see fossils like this in the rocks at Merthyr Mawr warren in South Wales.

Wow that’s stunning, although I must confess I initially thought it was a selection of biscuits!

Ophelia, from Twitter@palaeokatie Those are so neat! I don't know what they are, but they are neat.

What a beautiful collection!
We also find many crinoids (mostly in pieces ofcourse) arround our town here on the Swabian Alb/Germany, the round and more seldom the star form.
And when we are lucky there are sea urchins, too. Their spines are better to find. I like them a lot. 😉

SynonomessBotch@palaeokatie the one center right looks like a closed zipper!
Ag Terrane@palaeokatie I ❤️ crinoids.
berndandeweg@palaeokatie the saw tooth likes are crinoid stems as well? How do the seperate segments look like?!
Richard RatheAttention modern zippers… Someone may be looking for royalties… 😉
