EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Triassic Crinoids C015 / 0706" showcases two individual calyxes of the crinoid species Encrinus lilliformis Miller. The distinct morphological differences between them suggest the presence of sexual dimorphism within this ancient echinoderm group. However, both calyxes bear signs of damage, possibly inflicted by a predator during the Triassic period. The photograph was taken in Neidenfels, Crailsh, Germany, where remnants from the Upper Muschelkalk formation can be found. This geological era dates back to the Triassic period and is renowned for its diverse fossil record. The image provides a glimpse into an ecosystem that existed millions of years ago when these fascinating crinoids thrived. Sinclair Stammers skillfully captured this snapshot from Science Photo Library, offering us a window into prehistoric life and highlighting the intricate beauty preserved in fossils. It serves as a reminder of Earth's rich history and evolution over time.
