Seirocrinus subangularis Lower Jurassic Holzmaden, Germany During the Jurassic Age, in the area now known as Germany, tropical reef islands dotted a warm shallow sea. Of the marine life that thrived during this period, the crinoid, or sea lily, is one of least recognizable to the human eye. Its appearance is plant-like, yet these were animals that attached themselves to pieces of driftwood and passively sifted food from the tropical ocean waters with their blossom-like calyxes. As exemplified by the present specimen, the sea lily is arguably the most beautiful and decorative species from the richly colored black shales of Holzmaden. Offered with a custom mounting bracket. Originally from the Hauff Museum in Germany. Measures 51 x 29in; Specimen measures 33in
