Synopsis

This book delves deep into the realm of Palaeocrinoidea, a class of extinct marine organisms, with a focus on their classification, relations, and detailed descriptions of their genera. The author begins by providing a comprehensive review of the history of Crinoid research, discussing the advancements and contributions made by various scientists over the years. A large portion of the book is devoted to the classification and relationships within the Palaeocrinoidea, with the author proposing a new classification system based on extensive research and detailed analysis of the group's structure and morphology. The author also delves into the intricate details of the anatomy of these organisms, examining the structure of their basals, underbasals, radial and arm plates, interradial, interaxillary, and interbrachial plates, shedding light on their functional adaptations and evolutionary relationships. This book is a seminal work for paleontologists and evolutionary biologists, providing a comprehensive understanding of the Palaeocrinoidea and their significance in the broader context of echinoderm evolution.
