Description: A stunning example of a crinoid fossil of the species Pentacrinites fossilis from the world-famous Jurassic Coast beach of Charmouth, Dorset UK. The fossil measures 63 mm (2.5 inches) across. The fossil consists of a complete head with a crown of arms and pinnules all preserved in exquisite detail in 3D. It is preserved in calcite with no pyrite and has been coated in a thin reversible (soluble) lacquer for protection. These crinoid heads are rare and not often offered for sale. It has been backed with a rock-coloured plaster to stabilise it. Around 196 million years old, this fossil would make a wonderful addition to any collection. Crinoids are echinoderms closely related to starfish and sea urchins, and have been around for many hundreds of millions of years. They still live today in the deep seas around the world.

If you wish to purchase multiple fossils, just send a message to let me know and I can hold any order open for up to 25 days from the first auction win/purchase for more fossils to be added to the order. After you have finished adding items to an order, let me know and I will combine the shipping to the lowest amount possible for your items. The shipping cannot be combined automatically due to the large variation in weight of the fossils and the costs of different weight classes of the Royal Mail. Contact me if you have any questions and I will be happy to help!
