Geotimes January 2007 Carolyn Gramling	The Color of Crinoids Scientists have discovered complex organic molecules still preserved within 350-million-year-old crinoid fossils. Because the molecules are slightly different from species to species, the find could offer a new way to track the creatures' evolution through time.
