- Fossil length: 124 cm
- Description: This exceptional fossil preserves a remarkable aggregation of crinoid crowns attributed to Seirocrinus subangularis. Expertly prepared and embedded in a slab of Posidonia Shale, the specimen displays multiple crowns preserved in situ, closely clustered and maintaining their original spatial relationships within the sedimentary matrix. Two delicate, feather-like arms gracefully extend from the dense cluster of crinoids, providing rare and valuable insights into the morphology, feeding strategies, and lifestyle of these Jurassic crinoids. The natural, undisturbed arrangement of the crowns offers a vivid depiction of benthic life in the Holzmaden sea, capturing a moment of a Jurassic marine ecosystem frozen in time. Both visually stunning and scientifically significant, this crinoid colony exemplifies the extraordinary preservation quality of the Holzmaden fossil sites and represents an important specimen for research, exhibition, and educational purposes.
