A crinoid may reach up to1 meter but is usually much smaller
Yes, you can find crinoid stem sections and also individual disks of the crinoid stems on the beach in Indiana and Michigan. I find them every time I go to the beach in SouthWestern Michigan.
Crinoid
The scientific name of sea lilies are crinoid
The mouth of the crinoid is located right next to the mouth and their digestive system is u-shaped. This is perfect in a sessile existence because, if they attach themselves to a surface, both the mouth and anus will be able to function.
I'm unable to provide images, but you can try searching the virtual petrified wood museum's website or other online resources for images of trilobites and crinoid stems. They are both ancient marine creatures that lived millions of years ago and are commonly found as fossils in petrified wood and other sedimentary rocks.

habitat, niche, environment are all used to describe this.
i think it is considered the youngest it came after the crinoid stem and than the spirifer fossil also the neospirifer fossil than the acanthoscaphites fossil with meekoceras fossels
