Synopsis
This book provides a groundbreaking exploration into the fossil record of unusual echinoderms known as Carpoidea, dating back to the Silurian and Devonian periods. The author argues that rather than being exclusively marine animals as thought, many carpoids were freely moving organisms. The text describes and classifies Carpoidea fossils from Australia, Europe, South America, South Africa, and North America, organizing them into families, orders, and subclasses. Through high-quality photographs, the author illustrates the diversity of Carpoidea anatomies and discusses their evolutionary history, bringing new insights into their morphology and lifestyle. This book will be of great interest to anyone intrigued by the natural world, paleontology, or the history of life on Earth.
