440 million years old. Scyphocrinus elegans

Crinoids are marine animals belonging to the Echinodermata. They are related to the starfish, sea urchins, brittle stars and sea cucumbers.
They first appeared on Earth in the Ordovician, around 480 million
years ago, and quickly evolved into one of the most dominant species at that time.
There are two types of crinoids, the free-swimming ones that are called feather stars because of their appearance, and the crinoids that are attached to the bottom with a stem, which are understandably called sea lilies because they look like flowers.
They use this "flower" to filter food particles from the water.
While some members of the Echinodermata can reproduce by cloning, crinoids cannot.
We often only find pieces of the "flower" or parts of their very typical pentagonal body.
