Not all written in stone: interdisciplinary syntheses in echinoderm paleontology

Abstract: The fossil record of the Echinodermata is relatively complete, and is represented by specimens retaining an abundance of features comparable to that found in extant forms. This yields a half-billion-year record of evolutionary novelties unmatched in any other major group, making the Echinodermata a primary target for studies of biological change. Not all of this change can be understood by studying the rocks alone, leading to synthetic research programs. Study of literature from the past 20 years indicates tha… Show more

“…The crinoid hypothesis of Fell [127] received some early support but it was soon challenged [128] based on morphologic discontinuities, although recent discoveries appear to narrow differences [129] , [130] . Mooi [131] reviews several different echinoderm phylogenetic hypotheses.…”

“…The term pelmatozoa(n), as originally diagnosed to include all stem-bearing echinoderms, continues to be utilized by some (Rozhnov, 2002: Clausen andSmith, 2008) but not here. Current evidence does not support monophyletic origin of all stem-bearing echinoderms (for instance, edrioblastoids have a stem but are neither blastozoans nor crinoids) (Mooi, 2000;Guensburg and Sprinkle, 1994;Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2007).…”

“…Most echinoderm workers consider earliest edrioasteroids to be basal echinoderms (Paul and Smith, 1984;Mooi et al, 1994). An unknown early echinoderm taxon retaining many edrioasteroid traits has been suggested as the crinoid progenitor (Mooi, 2000;Guensburg andSprinkle, 2001, 2007).…”
