A DOUBLE FOSSIL SEA LILY PLAQUE

Seirocrinus subangularis

Lower Jurassic

Lias Epsilon, Holzmaden, Germany

93 x 92.5 x 5 cm

The gracefulness of this elegant and imposing pair of seal lilies, their bodies intertwined for eternity, is accentuated by a very fine fossil preparation. The pair are anchored to a piece of fossilized wood, with their crowns gently opened. This fossil is rendered even more magnificent thanks to their covering of pyrite, making them glow against the naturally dark stone background.
