I am trying to identify fossils in these thin sections of Silurian sedimentary rocks from Lithuania. Any ideas? I am still learning and lacking so much in experience… 🥺
I think I got the Crinoids right and some Bryozoas, but that’s it.
.
Also, next to these there are some nice cathodoluminescence photos of the same thin sections 🤩 You can see growth zones in them!

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.

This lovely collection of fossil crinoids from Scotland is very much like the what I used to find in Minnesota.
