Eclectic Echinodermata
For those interested in echinoderm diversity. This ranges from eocrinoids, crinoids, rhombiferans, blastoids, coronoids, diploporitans, parablastoids, echinoids, and all of the strange beautiful forms that came in between!

That is the best description of Troosticrinus ever!!! It is one of the weirdest blastoids.
-
I find it strange that no one ever went back and redescribed it. There’s one paleozoic shark tooth that’s been renamed three different times! I think “Troostiblastus” sounds kinda cute.
-
@jess-cost there are rules against stuff like that- even if it would make it more logical. There’s and entire BOOK on it, very boring. But I would like to do a Troosticrinus project because they are WEIRD!! They have smushed spiracles, slits, and coronal canals aka TOO MANY respiratory structures. Future collaboration? Once I get a permanent position 0_o

Rules…ughhh…😂 As for a Troosticrinus project, I’m totally down for that, (in whatever capacity I can be of service.) They are so very strange. I will continue to hoard them in the Beech River as I can.

From the accompanying plaque: ‘Seirocrinus distinguishes itself from others in the crinoid family by its tendency to anchor on floating debris and by following ocean currents instead of attaching to the sea floor. This specimen above is anchored to a piece of driftwood which would have supported the crinoid until the log lost all buoyancy and sank to the bottom of the ocean.’ #fossil

Here is some terminology for describing the Eublastoidea, most commonly known as blastoids! This is a long lived, globally distributed echinoderm group. They would have had a stem and arm like structures called brachioles but all of that falls apart very rapidly after death. Does anyone have a favorite blastoid? Mine is Cryptoschisma a Devonian Spanish beast, so cute. #fossil

My favorite is Pentremites convexus, mainly because it’s the only blastoid in my collection… I wish there were some good blastoid hunting areas in the Netherlands!
