Silurian–Early Devonian (~419–400 million years ago) | Morocco
This authentic Scyphocrinites elegans crinoid fossil dates back to the Silurian to Early Devonian, approximately 419 to 400 million years ago. Discovered in Morocco, it represents a distinctive type of sea lily that thrived in ancient marine environments.
Scyphocrinites is known for its characteristic morphology and well-developed stem structure. The specimen preserves clearly visible segmented elements along with delicate, feather-like arm structures, fossilized in natural limestone. These features provide a clear impression of early echinoderm anatomy and the complexity of Paleozoic marine ecosystems.
