It's a crinoid. The same animal we see fossils of from hundreds of millions ago. Most crinoids back then were stalked but most modern ones are unstalked. Like a feathery starfish. There are still some in the deep ocean that move around on their long body.

Juveniles are fixed with a stem while adults are free. The largest fossil found so far is 40 meters long.

Recently my Field Studies in class went to the Hausz Brothers Quarry in to observe the Lake Scuppernong sediments and bedrock strata of the Formation. We collected while we were there, and this was my first time! Here are a few of the fossil that I collected from the Ordovician strata. This includes, from left to right, up to down: a , a , a and , and a .

Large pieces of fossilized Crinoid stems. Crinoids are relatives of Starfish and Sea urchins that live on the ocean floors. When they die their bodies often break up into segments like the ones we see fossilized here. County Clare, Ireland.

In a funny turn of events, someone thought the crinoid barge I recently posted was a speculative idea made up by me and not something actually known from the fossil record. I guess Sussocaris has made people extra cautious about what is and isn’t real.

In the Mesozoic there existed so-called crinoid barges, which were formed by sea lilies attaching themselves to the bottom of floating tree trunks. Some like Seirocrinus could grow up to 26 metres tall. Such barges do not exist anymore today, as the evolution of shipworms has vastly reduced the amount of driftwood in the oceans.

A post, my first. They’re the only things I’ve consciously collected & kept with me over the years, while other things (e.g. albums, books) have been pared away, sometimes drastically, in my last few moves. Not a huge or particularly unique collection, mostly ammonites & trilobites. A few I found myself but most of them were purchased. The pos/neg ammonite halves I got in Lyme Regis, so they’re particularly special to me.

And lastly, did we forget that selection is also involved in evolution? Not just variation?
