SEE MORE FOSSIL SEA LILIES (CRINOIDS)
As a true natural, group fossil of a mass extinction event, this large stone layer displays several starfish and crinoid (sea lily) that died at the same time. This large stone plate was once a part of a prehistoric ocean floor dating back to nearly a half a billion years ago, during the Ordovician Period. During this time, about 100 times as many meteorites struck the Earth per year compared with today.
This ancient sea life fossil is an unforgettable and LARGE, visually impacting specimen of a mass extinction of various forms of co-existing marine life . All fossils on this plate are extremely three-dimensional and fully retain their lifelike appearance as when they were alive nearly a half a billion years ago. This is one of the most impressive fossil starfish / crinoid / marine life fossil we have ever seen. All the fossils were prepared exactly as they were originally buried with NO FABRICATION or adding of parts missing to the fossils. Again, from a scientific perspective, this is an EXTRAORDINARILY RARE specimen because it is natural and so well preserved with such a large concentration of these different forms of prehistoric marine life.
For the ultimate commercial or residential interior design application or for a public museum exhibit, this is an extremely rare and interesting very large fossil slab of the finest scientific grade showing a rare and visually intriguing AUTHENTIC AND ORIGINAL example of some of the earliest complex marine creatures on our planet.
