Abstract
The 140‐million‐year‐old Solnhofen lithographic limestone of Bavaria, famous for the remarkable preservation of the earliest bird, Archaeopteryx, is one of the most acclaimed fossil horizons on Earth. Understandably, interest has focused on the more glamorous fossil finds from these rocks; the most common macrofossil, a small sea lily, has been neglected. However, this unprepossessing animal is a key player in the Solnhofen story.
