EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Crystalized Time Traveler: The Enchanting Fossil of a Crystal Apple and its Prehistoric Cystoid Echinoderm Companion" 2.. Step back in time with this image of a crystal apple and its ancient cystoid echinoderm companion, a rare find from the Ordovician period, around 450 million years ago. This exquisite fossil, NHM E10. Echinosphaerites aurantium (Gyllenhall), was discovered in Popouka, St. Petersburg, Russia. The crystal apple, a popular folklore symbol of eternal youth and knowledge, is not an actual fruit but rather a name given to the mineral-encrusted fossil of an unknown Ordovician angiosperm. The apple-like shape and the shimmering crystal formations evoke a magical aura, making it a fascinating subject for collectors and researchers alike. The cystoid echinoderm, represented by Echinosphaerites, is a type of invertebrate belonging to the class Rhombiferia, which includes sea urchins and their extinct relatives. This ancient creature's intricate, spherical test is encrusted with calcite crystals, giving it an ethereal appearance that complements the crystal apple. The discovery of this unique pairing offers a glimpse into the prehistoric world, where angiosperms and echinoderms coexisted. This fascinating find underscores the rich history of life on Earth and the intricate relationships between various plant and animal groups during the Phanerozoic Concordat, a significant period in the Earth's biosphere. This image is a testament to the beauty and mystery of the natural world, inviting us to explore the wonders of the past and appreciate the intricate tapestry of life that has unfolded over billions of years.
