When fossil hunting on our local beaches sometimes the smallest finds are the ones which make us smile the most - this tiny trace fossil is an impression of a crinoid, more commonly known as a sea lily. While they look like plants or little star shaped flowers, they are actually related to starfish and sea urchins.

This one was found by one of the hawk-eyed children during one of our fossil hunting trips led by Felicity and Greg with a visiting school from the mainland.
