⭐ Fossil Overview:

This is a RARE and exceptionally well-preserved Free Floating Crinoid Fossil (Saccomella tenella), dating back to the Upper Jurassic Period (Tithonian, Malm Zeta 3) (~150 million years ago). It was discovered in the Solnhofen Plattenkalk Formation, Eichstätt, Bavaria, Germany, a world-famous fossil site known for its exquisite preservation of marine organisms.

Saccomella tenella is an extinct species of free-floating crinoid (Echinodermata), a group of marine animals related to modern sea lilies. Unlike most crinoids, which anchored themselves to the seafloor, Saccomella tenella drifted freely in Jurassic seas, using its feather-like arms to capture plankton. This exceptionally detailed fossil preserves its delicate structure, making it an extraordinary specimen for collectors and researchers alike.

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.
