Description
Here is a large fossil cystoid, species Holocystites Scutellatus, from the Silurian, between 443 and 419 million years ago. It was found in Osgood Shale, Napolean, Indiana.This specimen is on the original rock where it was found, cleaned by air abrasives. It measures about 1.8", on a plate that is about 3" by 1.9". The plate weighs 4.85 oz.
Cystoids have been long extinct, around the end of the Devonian. They were in some ways similar to crinoids, as they were animals that looked like plants, and in most cases were stuck to the sea bottom. They had a calcite plate with pores that were likely used for breathing. They had a five-point pattern, like other echinoderms, including modern ones.
A nice addition to a fossil collection.
