【Name】Crinoid 【Size】40*20cm A fossil specimen of crinoids from Guizhou, China. The slab displays dozens of well-preserved crinoid calyxes, radiating like delicate underwater blossoms. The fossils are embedded in a light brown sedimentary matrix, with intricate details clearly visible—the feathery arms and segmented stems are finely preserved, revealing the exquisite structure of these ancient marine creatures. Crinoids, belonging to the phylum Echinodermata, were widespread in Paleozoic seas and are known for their sessile, filter-feeding lifestyle. This clustered fossil scene reflects their gregarious nature and provides valuable insights into the marine ecology of ancient times. Guizhou is one of China's most significant fossil-rich regions, known for its abundance of well-preserved marine fossils that serve as important records for the study of Paleozoic ocean life and evolutionary history. The entire specimen is elegantly cut and mounted, set in a deep walnut wood frame with an ivory-white inner border. It not only showcases significant paleontological value but also possesses artistic and decorative appeal—ideal for high-end collections, scientific exhibitions, or as a statement piece of natural art.
