Age : Jurassic , Toarcian stage , Posidonienschiefer Formation
Location : Holzmaden, Germany
Weight : 8.0 kg
Size of the stone :45×42×2 cm
An exquisite crinoid, or sea lily, that has been expertly prepared in the rich black matrix of the famed fossil locality of Holzmaden, Germany. Also present is the beautiful golden-toned pyrite for which the finest examples from the locality are prized. The sea lily used its stem to attache itself onto a wood or other organic material in order to float in the Jurassic seas filter-feeding on small marine organisms.
The fossil may having been inlaid ,that means it has been stuck into a nicer stone because the original stone was not in good condition . The back has been stabilized with resin and fiber glas as usual when fossils are fragil.
