Paywalled, unfortunately, but this paper describes a phenomenal site in Ontario that preserves articulated, 3D crinoids, among other seafloor animals.

The Royal Ontario Museum really needs to expand its Primeval Predators line to include an Ordovician set, because a) there are almost no Ordovician toys and b) there are almost no crinoid toys. How about it, ROM?
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.
