A LOST TIME

With origins tracing back 358,900,000 years to the earliest epochs of prehistoric existence, these specimens have been prepared to unveil the intricacy within a colony that stretches an impressive 2 meters from the bulbs to the majestic calyx crowns; adorned with delicate feathered pinnule-filter feeding arms which rest in a flawless preservation. The calyx crowns adorned with undertones of soft greys and flecks of calcite-quartz that resonate against the mauve stone seabed, a profound testament to a sea suspended in time. Amidst the unfolding of an extinction-level event; the ancient oceans trembled, leaving behind a silent sedimentary tapestry that settled upon the ocean floor, creating oxygen-deprived realms where the alchemy of bacterial breakdown began, orchestrating a metamorphosis that transformed a vibrant seascape into empowering spectacles.

Crinoidea species continue to thrive in our modern-day oceans, existing as a unique interplay between the botanical and the zoological. Recent discoveries have unveiled awe-inspiring specimens breaking records with astonishing lengths of up to 40 meters, and venture as far as 4 miles beneath the ocean's surface, a true testament to their adaptability and enduring legacy. 

This is an extraordinary opportunity to possess a these enigmatic creatures, unveiling the secrets of a submerged era, with a once-in-a-lifetime experience to witness the intricate preservation of our planet's past with this original lily colony - once lost to time.
