We're taking a late afternoon dive into oceanic Iowa, as it existed 359–352 million years ago. Sometime during this window, USNM specimen 6094 was living its best life.

The fossils preserved here, and on view in , are mostly crinoids. During the Paleozoic Era, crinoid forests covered the seafloor and were akin to the colorful coral reefs found today.

Dense clusters of delicate sea lilies prospered in shallow seas, gathering food in their feathery arms. Different species grew to different heights and evolved arms of many shapes. Most species disappeared in a mass extinction 252 million years ago. Because of their hard skeletons, they left spectacular fossils.

Though not as dominant as they once were, crinoids still exist. Those that have a stalk are commonly referred as sea lilies, while those that float freely in the water are called feather stars. Both have frilled arms with branches, called pinnules, that give them a feathered appearance.
