Species Information:

Pentacrinites is a genus of crinoids, marine animals related to modern sea lilies and starfish. These filter-feeding echinoderms thrived in the Jurassic seas, attaching themselves to floating debris or the seabed. Their feather-like arms captured plankton, which served as their primary source of food.

The fossilized stems of Pentacrinites are segmented and intricately patterned, making them both scientifically significant and visually captivating. Fossil slabs like this one offer a snapshot of ancient marine life, showcasing the complexity of Jurassic ecosystems.
