when I
put the cry
in crinoid
it's not because they're gone
but they no longer ride
the marvelous rafts
of so long ago

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. Here's "The Transient Oasis," showing a colony of Seirocrinus crinoids drifting on deadwood.

#Crinoids are so cool.

The photo shows a hand holding a black rock, a little smaller than a baseball glistening with water.

In the center is a wedge-shaped portion of the rock that is a light gray color and smoother in texture. There are horizontal bands across the V-shaped portion of the stem of the crinoid that lived long long ago in a forgotten sea. #crinoids #fossil #fossils

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2020 I illustrated LOCKED IN TIME, written by Dr Dean Lomax. Here's my "Transient Oasis" painting, depicting animals in and around a colony of crinoids growing on driftwood.

Crinoids are also known as ‘sea lilies’ and are animals related to starfish and sea urchins. In parts of England, the column forming the stem are made of of many small star shaped structures, and when the fossils of these stems are found they are called fairy money.

Lots of cool finds at Canyon Creek near #yyc today! Some ammonites, corals, plant fragments, and a whole rock of crinoid fragments!

Today 2a ago my humans met this little #toad during #hedgewatch & found also this piece of #limestone with #fossils. The fossils are stems from #crinoids i.e. small animals also called #sealilies. We love this name

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

A 2010 acrylic painting, of Mississippian (the first half of the Carboniferous) fish and crinoids. I've lost the fish species but the crinoids are Abrotocrinus, Dizygocrinus, Dorycrinus, and Decadocrinus.
