330 million year old perfection - a wee crinoid ossicle that beautifully highlights their five-fold (pentaradial) symmetry. There’s also a tiny fragment of bryozoan in the bottom right 🖤

@palaeokatie 🥰 That is sooo perfect! The wee bryozoan wisp makes it even better 🥰

@palaeokatie wow that's stunning! This would be amazing if you could 3D scan or make a mould and cast/print buttons

@palaeokatie I hate it when the centers of buttons give way like that. Always helps to keep a few spares in a sewing kit.

@palaeokatie @CloudsGoBy Bloody bryozoans! They get everywhere!

@palaeokatie I'm having difficulties parsing the words you're using (I googled and I don't really understand how these two animals [?] work) but I love that it intrigued me enough to find out that there are these interesting aquatic structures I've never heard of only because I wondered why someone would post a picture of a clearly broken button :D

@palaeokatie Woah. How is that not a button?! 😍

@palaeokatie I’m pretty sure that’s a button from a wee cardigan. No way is nature that beautiful. /S
