⭐ Fossil Overview:

This is a RARE and exceptionally well-preserved Calycoblastus Blastoid Fossil, dating back to the Lower Permian Period (~280 million years ago). It was discovered in East Timor, Indonesia, a region known for its diverse and well-preserved Paleozoic marine fossils.

Blastoids, often referred to as “Sea Buds,” are an extinct group of echinoderms related to crinoids. They possessed a rigid calcareous skeleton with a unique pentameral symmetry and were filter-feeders that thrived in ancient marine environments. This specimen showcases remarkable preservation, featuring intricate details of its theca (calyx) and ambulacral grooves.

This fossil originates from the Alice Purnell Collection, one of the largest and most renowned fossil collections in the world. Fossils from this collection are highly collectible and hold significant paleontological value.

Permian Information

The Permian Period (299–252 million years ago) was a time of dramatic climate shifts and evolutionary advancements, marking the end of the Paleozoic Era. Initially, the climate was warm and humid, supporting vast conifer forests and swampy environments, but it gradually became drier as the supercontinent Pangaea fully formed. This led to the expansion of early reptiles, including synapsids like Dimetrodon, which were distant ancestors of mammals. Amphibians thrived in wetlands, while the first conifer trees became dominant. In the oceans, ammonites, brachiopods, and early sharks flourished. However, the Permian ended with the largest mass extinction in Earth’s history, the Permian-Triassic Extinction, wiping out nearly 90% of marine species and 70% of land species, paving the way for the rise of dinosaurs in the Triassic.
