Was going to ask how you spotted that tiny thing in all that but after pausing and giving a good look I spotted several others so I guess its not that hard.

Well hit me in the crotch with a hammer! I've walked on some of the very dirt mentioned and never noticed or knew about Crinoids.!

Man I would love a little jar of these for my shelf of things (I have a crow mentality). Sadly in Aus though.

People sell little jars of them on line for very little cash if you really want some. If you do get some, post a pic of them here!

Ooh! That is a fantastic idea, I will look into it!
