Fossils: Crinoids
These are often called sea lilies, however they are not plants, but echinoderms. They are
in the same family as modern star fish, sea biscuits and urchins. Most species attached
them selves to the ocean floor with a stem and root section and waited for the currents to
bring them food. They would gather with their radial arms extending from the cup.

Solnhofen Floating Crinoids
Order: Comatuida, Genus: Saccocoma. These Solnhofen
floating crinoid are as their name says, they did not attach
themselves to the sea bed, but rather floated in the Jurassic waters
of what is now the sandstone layers of the Solnhofen limestone.
These specimens have been stained to bring out detail. The
approximate dimensions of the specimen is 1- 3/4 in diameter on a 2
1/2 to 4 inches nibbled oval matrix. They make an excellent
book case display. We recommend a
DIS-35B display stand for this fossil.
