Crinoid - Fossil plate matrix - Encrinus liliiformis - 3 cm - 23 cm

Selected by Manuel Quiring

Amazing slab 23X10 cm with one Encrinus liliiformis crinoid from Alverdissen, Germany. It comes from the Muschelkalk Formation which is Traissic in age. Calix is 6,3 cm long.. Slab was found complete with no brokenings. Crinoids, sometimes commonly referred to as sea lilies, are animals, not plants. They are echinoderms related to starfish, sea urchins, and brittle stars. Many crinoid traits are like other members of their phylum; such traits include tube feet, radial symmetry, a water vascular system, and appendages in multiples of five (pentameral). They first appeared in the Ordovician (488 million years ago) and some species are still alive today.
