abstract = {The Pliensbachian (Lower Jurassic) age-based Lower Marly Limestone Formation of the Moulay Idriss Zerhoun area (Morocco) and the Ain Ouarka Formation of the Ksour Mountains (Algeria) have yielded rare crinoids. Although crinoids have previously been described from the Jurassic of Algeria, their Pliensbachian occurrence is being reported here for the first time. On the other hand, one isocrinid taxa [Terocrinus subsulcatus (Münster in Goldfuss)] was also recorded from the Pliensbachian strata of Morocco. Additionally, now, from both Morocco and Algeria, Seirocrinus subangularis (Miller), belonging to the family Pentacrinitidae, is documented. This is a cosmopolitan and pseudoplaktonic crinoid species that is well-known from Asia, Europe, and North America. The taxonomic evaluation of the genus Seirocrinus is provided. The present records from Algeria and Morocco are the first finds of Seirocrinus from the African continent. Ticinocrinus moroccoensis sp. nov. represented by a cup of a rare cyrtocrinid (Cyrtocrinida) is associated with S. subangularis from Morocco. Globally, this is the second record of the genus; the first Ticinocrinus being described from the Pliensbachian of Switzerland. Thus, the present records from Morocco and Algeria are also the oldest cyrtocrinids from the southern margin of the Tethys. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.},

abstract = {Owing to their remarkable physical properties, cellular structures, such as triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS), have multidisciplinary and multifunctional applications. Although these structures are observed in nature, examples of TPMS with large length scales in living organisms are exceedingly rare. Recently, microstructure reminiscent of the diamond-type TPMS was documented in the skeleton of the modern knobby starfish Protoreaster nodosus. Here we report a similar microlattice in a 385 Myr old crinoid Haplocrinites, which pushes back the origins of this highly ordered microstructure in echinoderms into the Devonian. Despite the low Mg 2+ /Ca 2+ ratio of the 'calcite' Devonian sea, the skeleton of these crinoids has high-Mg content, which indicates strong biological control over biomineralogy. We suggest that such an optimization of trabecular arrangement additionally enriched in magnesium, which enhances the mechanical properties, might have evolved in these crinoids in response to increased predation pressure during the Middle Palaeozoic Marine Revolution. This discovery illustrates the remarkable ability of echinoderms, through the process of evolutionary optimization, to form a lightweight, stiff and damage-tolerant skeleton, which serves as an inspiration for biomimetic materials. © 2023 The Author(s).},

It is assigned to Ausichicrinites zelenskyyi gen. et sp. nov. and is the first Jurassic comatulid from the African continent. The new taxon shows some similarities with representatives of the Mesozoic Solanocrinitidae but also has close resemblance with the modern family Zygometridae, exclusively known from the Holocene of western Pacific and eastern Indian Oceans.

abstract = {A rich collection of well-preserved Middle Devonian crinoid thecae from the Holy Cross Mountains (Świętomarz locality; Poland) is described. They are attributed to the widely distributed in-adunate crinoid genus Haplocrinites. Using a traditional classification these thecae should be assigned to two species (H. aremoricensis and H. boitardi). However, a wide range of morphologic variation suggests that this assemblage represents morphological variants of a single species. This is supported by morphometric analyses which revealed that these thecae are not clustered into two morphological-ly distinct groups. These data show that the number of haplocrinitid species is likely overestimated. Traditional classifications based on the cup shape and ornamentation are no longer tenable, and re-quire substantial revision. The diagnosis of H. boitardi is emended to encompass a broader range of morphologic variation. H. aremoricensis is a junior synonym of H. boitardi. © 2022 E.

abstract = {The deposition of Mesozoic carbonates in the Horn of Africa is pervasive and forms an important marker for inter- and intra-basinal correlation. In central Ethiopia, this time interval is represented by transgressive deposits of the Antalo Limestone Formation in the Blue Nile and the Mekelle basins, and the Hamanlei Limestone Formation in the Ogaden Basin. These carbonate formations have traditionally been assigned to range from ?Lower to Upper Jurassic. Recently, based on calcareous nannofossils from the Blue Nile Basin, the Antalo Limestone Formation was constrained to between the lower Callovian and upper Tithonian with a suggestion of the presence of Cretaceous strata in the Blue Nile Basin, based on the record of Uniplanarius sissinghii in the Mugher section. Here, based on the discovery of chitinoidellids and calpionellids from two sections of the Blue Nile Basin, we confirm the presence of Cretaceous deposits and conclusively extend the age of the Antalo Limestone Formation to late Berriasian. Three calpionellid zones are recorded from the Blue Nile Basin: Bonetinae and Chitinoidellids/Primitive Calpionellids subzones, both assigned to the upper Tithonian Microcanthum ammonite Zone and the Calpionellopsis Zone (?Simplex‒Oblonga/Oblonga-Praecalpionellites Subzone) corresponding to the upper Berriasian ammonites Boissieri Zone. Two stratigraphic hiatuses: Kimmeridgian‒lower Tithonian and uppermost Tithonian‒lowermost upper Berriasian are noted in both sections. This discovery of calpionellids has a profound effect not only on the biostratigraphy of Ethiopia but also has allowed the integration of the study region of eastern Africa, for the first time, within the wide calpionellid domain of the South Tethysian margin. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd},

However, the top part of the ALF is not well exposed at Mugher; in this study, the top part of the ALF was sampled at the Kurar section (150 km north of Mugher). It yielded a nannofossil assemblage containing Helenea chiastia, whose first occurrence (FO) marks the base of the Tithonian NJT16a calcareous nannofossil subzone, and Faviconus multicolumnatus, whose FO is near the base of the NJ15b subzone and corresponds with the FO of the Tithonian zonal marker Polycostella beckmannii recorded at the Mugher section. This age is also corroborated by the presence of recently recorded calpionellids (Bonetinae subzone) and the presence of late Tithonian ammonites, Djurjuriceras cf. sinuosum Tavera and Oxylenticeras Spath from the Kurar section. Hence, the upper part of the ALF exposed at the Kurar and Mugher sections are of late Tithonian age, although at the Mertule Mariam section (60 km northwest of the Kurar section), late Berriasian calpionellids were recently found from the top part of the ALF. © 2022 Elsevier B.V. and Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, CAS},

abstract = {Excrement-shaped ferruginous masses have been recovered from the Miocene of Turów mine in south-western Poland. These siderite masses have been the subject of much controversy, having been interpreted either as being coprolites, cololithes or pseudofossils created by mechanical deformation of plastic sediment. Here we present the results of mineralogical, geochemical, petrographic and microtomographical analyses. Our data indicate that these masses consist of siderite and iron oxide rather than phosphate, and rarely contain recognizable food residues, which may suggest abiotic origins of these structures. On the other hand, evidence in support of a fecal origin include: (i) the presence of two distinct morphotypes differing in size and shape, (ii) the presence of rare hair-like structures or coalified inclusions and (iii) the presence of rare fine striations on the surface. Importantly, comparative actualistic study of recent vertebrate feces shows overall resemblance of the first morphotype (sausage-shaped with rare coalified debris) to excrements of testudinoid turtles (Testudinoidea), whose shell fragment was found in the investigated locality. The second morphotype (rounded to oval-shaped with hair-like structures), in turn, is similar to the feces of some snakes (Serpentes), the remains of which were noted in the Miocene of the neighborhood areas. Other potential producers (such as lizards and crocodiles) and even abiotic origins cannot be fully excluded but are less likely. Copyright 2022 Brachaniec et al.},

abstract = {Crinoids were among the most abundant marine benthic animals throughout the Palaeozoic, but their body size evolution has received little attention. Here, we compiled a comprehensive database on crinoid calyx biovolumes throughout the Palaeozoic. A model comparison approach revealed contrasting and complex patterns in body size dynamics between the two major crinoid clades (Camerata and Pentacrinoidea). Interestingly, two major drops in mean body size at around two mass extinction events (during the late Ordovician and the late Devonian respectively) are observed, which is reminiscent of current patterns of shrinking body size of a wide range of organisms as a result of climate change. The context of some trends (marked declines during extinctions) suggests the cardinal role of abiotic factors (dramatic climate change associated with extinctions) on crinoid body size evolution; however, other patterns (two intervals with either relative stability or steady size increase in periods between mass extinctions) are more consistent with biotic drivers. © 2021, The Author(s).},

abstract = {Crinoids are largely considered as good indicators for determining environmental conditions. They are robust proxies for inferring changes in salinity and sedimentation rate and for inferring substrate type. Some crinoid groups (e.g.; certain comatulids; cyrtocrinids; millericrinids) have a depth preference, thus, making them useful for palaeodepth estimation. The hypotheses that crinoid distribution is substratedependent (rock type) or palaeodepth-dependent is tested here based on (a) archival Bathonian-Callovian (Middle Jurassic) crinoid occurrences from Poland and (b) newer finds from five boreholes from eastern Poland. Qualitative data suggests that isocrinids and cyclocrinids occur in both carbonate and siliciclastic rocks. The cyrtocrinids and roveacrinids occur within carbonate rocks, whereas the comatulids are exclusive to siliciclastics. In terms of palaeodepth, most crinoid groups dominate in shallow environments with the sole exception of cyrtocrinids, that are ubiquitous and occur in both shallow (near shore and shallow marine) and slightly deeper (deeper sublittoral to open shelf) settings. The occurrences of the cosmopolitan taxa, Chariocrinus andreae and Balanocrinus subteres (isocrinids), is independent of both substrate type and palaeodepth. Quantitative analyses (Analysis Of Variance; ANOVA) based on substrate type, i.e., substrate-dependency (claystones; sandstones and limestones), and palaeodepth i.e., palaeodepth-dependency (near shore; shallow-marine; midramp and offshore), corroborate qualitative results. Statistical analysis suggest that the distribution of crinoids shows a strong substrate-dependency but not for palaeodepth, although very weak significance (low p value) is noted for near shore and shallow marine settings and crinoid distribution. © 2021 PeerJ Inc..

Lanecrinus? sp. is described from the late Tournaisian of the D bnik Anticline region. A high crinoid biodiversity occurred during late Viséan of the Holy Cross Mountains, including the camerate crinoids Gilbertsocrinus? sp., Platycrinitidae Indeterminate; one flexible crinoid; and numerous eucladid crinoids, including Cyathocrinites mammillaris (Phillips), three taxa represented by partial cups left in open nomenclature, and numerous additional taxa known only from isolated radial plates, brachial plates, and columnals. To date, the youngest occurrence of Gilbertsocrinus was the early Viséan of the United States, thus the present finding in upper Viséan extends this genus range. Furthermore, the occurrence of Lanecrinus? sp. expands the Western European range of this genus into the Tournaisian.

abstract = {Echinoderms exhibit remarkable powers of autotomy. For instance, crinoids can shed arm and stalk portions when attacked by predators. In some species, it has been reported that the autotomized arms display vigorous movements, which are thought to divert the attention of predators. This phenomenon, however, has not been well explored. Here we present results of experiments using the shallowest water species of living stalked crinoid (Metacrinus rotundus) collected at 140 m depth. A wide range of movements of detached arms, from sluggish writhing to violent flicks, was observed. Interestingly, autotomized arms produce distinct traces on the sediment surface. They are composed of straight or arched grooves usually arranged in radiating groups and shallow furrows. Similar traces were found associated with detached arms of the oldest (Early Triassic) stem-group isocrinid (Holocrinus). This finding may suggest that the origins of autotomy-related thrashing behaviour in crinoids could be traced back to at least the Early Triassic, underscoring the magnitude of anti-predatory traits that occurred during the Mesozoic Marine Revolution. A new ethological category, autotomichnia, is proposed for the traces produced by thrashing movements of shed appendages. © 2020, The Author(s).},

abstract = {Living crinoids are exclusively passive suspension feeders and benthic as adults. However, in the past they adapted to a broad range of ecological niches. For instance, the stratigraphically important middle Paleozoic scyphocrinoids are hypothesized to have been planktonic, employing their inferred gas-filled globular, chambered structure at the distal end of the stem, the so-called lobolith, as a buoyancy device with the crinoid calyx suspended below it. Here, we evaluate this hypothesis using evidence from skeletal micromorphology and theoretical biomechanical modeling. Lobolith walls are typically composed of ossicles, which are exclusively composed of constructional labyrinthic stereom. In plates from the distal side of the lobolith, this stereom extends into microperforate stereom layer, forming wavy ridges and spines. No microscale adaptations for preventing gas leaks and/or ingress of water (such as internal and external imperforate stereom layers) are known. Furthermore, theoretical calculations suggest that the scyphocrinoid tow-net mode of feeding would have resulted in small relative velocities between the towed filter and the ambient water, thus making it an ineffective passive filter feeder. We suggest that the lobolith of these crinoids acted as a modified holdfast rather than as a floating buoy. Its globular shape and distally positioned microspines served as adaptations for living in unconsolidated sediments, analogous to iceberg- and snowshoe-like strategies used by some mollusks and brachiopods. Like modern isocrinids, scyphocrinoids could have maintained an upright feeding posture by extending the distal portion of the stalk along the bottom. In this recumbent posture, the distal part of the stalk with the lobolith might have functioned as a drag anchor. As a consequence of the ~3-m-long stem, even with this posture, the benthic scyphocrinoids could have risen to the highest epifaunal tier in the Paleozoic. © The Paleontological Society.

They are assigned to isocrinids (Isocrinida: Isocrinus cf. amblyscalaris; Isocrinida indet.), cyrtocrinids (Cyrtocrinida: Eugeniacrinites sp.; Phyllocrinus sp.; Gammarocrinites sp.; Hemicrinus tithonicus; Plicatocrinus hexagonus; Cyrtocrinida indet.), millericrinids (Millericrinida: Millericrinida indet.), and thiolliericrinids (Comatulida; Thiolliericrinidae: Thiolliericrinidae gen. et sp. In-det.). Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) and Paleogene (Paleocene-Oligocene) crinoids from the Subsile-sian Unit are recorded as individual remains belonging to: Isocrinida indet., Cyrtocrinida indet., bour-gueticrinids (Comatulida; Bourgueticrinina: Bourgueticrinina fam. et gen. indet.) and roveacrinids (Ro-veacrinida; Roveacrinidae gen. et sp. indet.). Roveacrinids were retrieved only from Maastrichtian sam-ples. Despite the conclusions previously presented that isocrinids of the Outer Flysch Carpathians dominated around the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary due to the very shallow sedimentary environment of these strata, we can now conclude that they were common and associated with cyrtocrinids in all types of environments. It is also worth mentioning that cyrtocrinids and isocrinids occur in Paleogene sediments that were deposited in extremely shallow environments. On the other hand, many literature data suggested that Cretaceous (by mid-Cretaceous) isocrinids migrated to deep-water areas, as a response to an increase in the number of predators during the so-called Mesozoic marine revolution. © 2020, Carnets de Geologie.

abstract = {Durophagous (shell-crushing) fish predation is considered to have been a major force of evolutionary change in the history of marine communities. However, because fish predators are very rarely preserved in the act of predation, fossil evidence of such interactions is commonly indirect. For instance, it has been argued that shell fragments with sharp margins constitute a good proxy for durophagy. However, drawing a distinction between predation- and abiotic-induced shell damage can be challenging. Notably, experimental data on shell fragmentation by marine durophagous fishes are almost lacking. In this study, we explore whether shell breakage caused by durophagous marine fishes versus physical factors can be distinguished. Aquarium experiments involving commercially available predatory fishes (Diodon) and thin-shelled invertebrate preys (gastropods Nassarius and brachiopods Frenulina) show that the predation by some fish produces shell fragments displaying extremely low roundness and varying degree of sphericity. Importantly, these fragments typically display sharp and jagged margins, and reveal distortion of individual crystal fibers. Tumbling experiments showed that the disintegration of brachiopod shells proceeds much more rapidly than that of gastropods, which may suggest that abiotic-induced fragmentation of brachiopods may be eventually confused with predation. However, the tumbling-induced fragmentation and damage in both groups are typically characterized by the presence of spherical or discoidal and rounded shell fragments displaying smooth edges (without any microstructural distortion), and numerous abrasive scratches and wear scars on the surface. These data underscore that the shell fragments produced by a durophagous fish, if not subsequently abraded by physical factors, can be recognized in the fossil record.

They are absent in the Lower Cieszyn Shale (Tithonian) and the Upper Cieszyn Shale (Valanginian-Hauterivian). The Lower Cieszyn Limestone (Tithonian) yielded crinoid remains classified as Isocrinus cf. amblyscalaris (Thurmann) and Isocrinida indet. In the Upper Cieszyn Limestone (Berriasian) crinoids are much more numerous and diversified. The following taxa are recorded: Isocrinus? annulatus (Roemer), Balanocrinus subteres (Münster), B. cf. smithi Hess and Gale, and Hemicrinus sp. The presence of specimens resembling Isocrinus amblyscalaris (Thurmann) in the Tithonian strata is surprising since the last occurrence of this taxon was reported from the Kimmeridgian. The Lower Cieszyn Limestone crinoidal assemblage is dominated by isocrinids (Isocrinida). This probably reflects the much shallower sedimentary environment of these sediments compared to that of the Upper Cieszyn Limestone, where excepting isocrinids, hemicrinids (Hemicrinidae; Cyrtocrinida) typical for deep marine environments were found. It is consistent with the analytical results from the foraminiferal assemblages, among which the benthic forms known from shelfal and paralic epicontinental environments first dominated, and then were supplanted by deep-sea taxa at the turn of the Jurassic and Cretaceous. © 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS},

abstract = {Marine organisms are uncommonly preserved in amber. Recently, they were reported to be associated with Burmese amber. However, most of specimens from previous reports were preserved on the amber surface or within the sediment surrounding the amber. Based on X-ray tomography and thin-section optical microscopy of Burmese amber, we report here the first genuine and unambiguous evidence of inclusion of crinoid ossicles preserved in the fossil resin. Preservation of this exclusively marine group in amber gives insights into the paleoenvironment of the crinoid-amber association and provides additional evidence to support previous observations of shallow-water stalked crinoids from the mid-Cretaceous, when many stalked crinoids started to shift offshore due to increased predation pressure during the Mesozoic Marine Revolution. Crinoid remains, represented by disarticulated stem and arm ossicles assignable to Isocrinus cf. legeri (Repelin), point to a mid-Cretaceous age for the Burmese amber and support some previous hypotheses suggesting a close proximity between the resin-producing trees and seawater. © 2019, SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology)},

These latter are represented by very well preserved columnals/pluri-columnals, isolated brachials and cirrals/pluri-cirrals, assignable to the following species: Isocrinus amblyscalaris (Thurmann; in Thurmann and Éttalon), Isocrinus cf. pendulus (von Meyer), Balanocrinus brachiospina Hess, Balanocrinus pentagonalis (Goldfuss), Balanocrinus subteres (Münster; in Goldfuss), Balanocrinus sp., and Millericrinida indet. The commonest species, Balanocrinus brachiospina, is recorded for the first time from Poland. Critical revision of Polish occurrence of balanocrinids is provided. It is suggested that some of the previous balanocrinid finds from Poland assigned to Balanocrinus subteres should be now addressed as B. brachiospina. Furthermore, it is probable that the Callovian B. hessi Salamon and Zatoń should be synonymized with B. pentagonalis. Crinoid material at hand is also associated with asteroid and echinoid remains. Among this material, a complete test of Pleurodiadema nudum Cotteau is illustrated for the first time from Poland. Taphonomic observations of echinoderms from the Kimmeridgian limestones of the Łódź Depression suggest that they did not undergo a long post-mortem transport.

abstract = {Stalked crinoids have long been considered sessile. In the 1980s, however, observations both in the field and of laboratory experiments proved that some of them (isocrinids) can actively relocate by crawling with their arms on the substrate, and dragging the stalk behind them. Although it has been argued that this activity may leave traces on the sediment surface, no photographs or images of the traces produced by crawling crinoids have been available. Herein, we present results of neoichnological experiments using the shallowest species of living stalked crinoid, Metacrinus rotundus, dredged from Suruga Bay (near the town of Numazu; Shizuoka Prefecture; ~ 140 m depth). Our results demonstrate that isocrinids produce characteristic locomotion traces, which have some preservation potential. They are composed of rather deep and wide, sometimes weakly sinuous, central drag marks left by the stalk and cirri, and short, shallow scratch marks made by the arms. Based on the functional morphology and taphonomy, it has been argued that the ability to autotomize the stalk and relocate had already evolved in the oldest stem-group isocrinids (holocrinids), likely in response to increased benthic predation pressure during the so-called Mesozoic marine revolution. Our data show that this hypothesis may be corroborated in the future by ichnological findings, which may provide more direct proof of active locomotion in Triassic holocrinids. © 2018, The Author(s).},

abstract = {The Devonian period ended with one of the largest mass extinctions in the Earth history. It comprised a series of separate events, which eliminated many marine species and led to long-term post-extinction reduction in body size in some groups. Surprisingly, crinoids were largely unaffected by these extinction events in terms of diversity. To date, however, no study examined the long-term body-size trends of crinoids over this crucial time interval. Here we compiled the first comprehensive data sets of sizes of calyces for 262 crinoid genera from the Frasnian-Visean. We found that crinoids have not experienced long-term reduction in body size after the so-called Hangenberg event. Instead, size distributions of calyces show temporal heterogeneity in the variance, with an increase in both the mean and maximum biovolumes between the Famennian and Tournaisian. The minimum biovolume, in turn, has remained constant over the study interval. Thus, the observed pattern seems to fit a Brownian motion-like diffusion model. Intriguingly, the same model has been recently invoked to explain morphologic diversification within the eucladid subclade during the Devonian-early Carboniferous. We suggest that the complex interplay between abiotic and biotic factors (i.e.; expansion of carbonate ramps and increased primary productivity; in conjunction with predatory release after extinction of Devonian-style durophagous fishes) might have been involved not only in the early Mississippian diversity peak of crinoids, but possibly also in their overall passive expansion into larger body-size niches. © 2018 The Author(s).},

abstract = {Shell damage left by predators constitutes an important source of information on predator–prey interactions. However, recognition of the origins of shell damage can often be controversial, and needs to be assessed cautiously. More specifically, differentiation between predation- and abiotic-induced shell damage remains challenging. Here, we show the results of tumbling experiments using a bivalve species Dreissena polymorpha in order to determine rates and patterns of shell damage induced by physical forces in high-energy conditions. It is demonstrated that, in contrast to durophagous fish and crab predation, abiotic-induced fragmentation and damage are typically characterized by the presence of distinct abrasive scratches and wear scars on the surface of shell fragments. Furthermore, fragmented shells typically reveal a wide size distribution, and a different degree of sphericity and roundness resulting from abrasion. Importantly, large shell fragments commonly display smooth edges. These data suggest that durophagous predation, which typically induces fragmentation into large and angular shell fragments bearing no wear scars, can be reliably recognized both in present-day environments and in the fossil record. © 2018, The Author(s).},

abstract = {Echinoderms are characterized by a calcite endoskeleton with a unique microstructure, which is optimized for multiple functions. For instance, some light-sensitive ophiuroids (Ophiuroidea) and asteroids (Asteroidea) possess skeletal plates with multi-lens arrays that are thought to act as photosensory organs. The origins of these lens-like microstructures have long been unclear. It was recently proposed that the complex photosensory systems in certain modern ophiuroids and asteroids could be traced back to at least the Late Cretaceous (ca. 79 Ma). Here, we document similar structures in ophiuroids and asteroids from the Early Cretaceous of Poland (ca. 136 Ma) that are approximately 57 million years older than the oldest asterozoans with lens-like microstructures described thus far. We use scanning electron microscopy, synchrotron tomography, and electron backscatter diffraction combined with focused ion beam microscopy to describe the morphology and crystallography of these structures in exceptional detail. The results indicate that, similar to Recent light-sensitive ophiuroids, putative microlenses in Cretaceous ophiuroids and asteroids exhibit a shape and crystal orientation that would have minimized spherical aberration and birefringence. We suggest that these lens-like microstructures evolved by secondary deposition of calcite on pre-existing porous tubercles that were already present in ancestral Jurassic forms. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media New York.},

abstract = {Uintacrinoids (Uintacrinoidea Zittel) are among the best-known Late Cretaceous crinoids, but owing to their unusual morphology and widespread distribution their mode of life has become a subject of much discussion. Of several competing hypotheses, nektonic, pseudoplanktonic, hemipelagic, semi-infaunal and epibenthic lifestyles have been suggested. Recent study synthesizing and extending previous data has shown that these crinoids were epibenthic, holding their arms vertically for feeding. However, evidence supporting a rheophilic epibenthic model over an alternative rheophobic semi-infaunal model is still limited. Here we report epizoans, mostly represented by serpulids and bryozoans, encrusting thecal plates of Marsupites testudinarius from the Lägerdorf in Germany. Although a definitive interpretation whether recorded infestations occurred syn vivo or post mortem is not certain, it is remarkable that all epizoans (or their traces) are attached to the convex side (latera) of well-preserved isolated plates displaying no signs of reworking. Furthermore, a bryozoan colony crossing plate boundaries has been also found on the surface of a sub-articulated theca suggesting that it may have been colonised syn vivo. Recorded epibiotic associations, whether syn vivo or post-mortem, must have developed prior to burial of the specimens, above the surface of sea floor, and thus provide another argument against rheophobic semi-infaunal mode of life of uintacrinoids. © 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS},

abstract = {Uintacrinoids (Uintacrinoidea) are among the most bizarre of all the crinoids. These stratigraphically important Late Cretaceous crinoids are characterized by an atypical large stalkless globular cup without cirriferous centrodorsal and extremely long arms. Owing to this unusual morphology, the mode of life of these crinoids has confused palaeontologists for more than a century. While uintacrinoids have been commonly regarded as pelagic forms, either swimming actively or floating passively by means of a putative buoyancy mechanism, some recent authors have favoured a benthic mode of life. However, evidence supporting a benthic lifestyle hypothesis is still limited. Here we describe the stereom microstructure of Marsupites and Uintacrinus. In Marsupites, thecal plates are typically comprised of coarse to medium, clearly structural, galleried stereom, which alternates with zones of fine and deeply penetrating galleried stereom oriented perpendicular to the plate margins. The latter stereom type corresponds to the external ribbed ornament of the theca, and is indicative of collagenous sutural fibers for binding adjacent plates. In Uintacrinus, thecal plates are almost entirely composed of fine galleried stereom diagnostic for collagenous sutural fibers. In both taxa, a perforate stereom layer, that is known to increase plate strengthening and resistance to abrasion in some Recent echinoderms, is developed most externally, and also produces a characteristic interior growth banding pattern. No skeletal adaptations for maintaining buoyancy, such as skeletal lightening and hollow architecture, that are known to occur in nektonic and pseudoplanktonic crinoids, are observed. Instead, the stereom organization in uintacrinoids closely resembles those observed in Recent benthic crinoids. Our findings thus strongly support a benthic mode of life of uintacrinoids. Their widespread distribution within a short time interval can be best explained by having a very long-term planktonic larval stage as previously hypothesized by some authors. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {The echinoid genus Echinocorys is one of the dominant irregular echinoid in the Cretaceous of Poland. Our analysis of the body size trends of these echinoids shows that they underwent dwarfism in the early Maastrichtian. The reduction in body size in these echinoids was likely an ecological response to the major climate perturbations connected with the Campanian-Maastrichtian Boundary Event (CMBE) that was characterized by a long-lasting negative carbon isotope excursion and cooling. This is consistent with the fact that food limitations and cold temperatures are among the major factors decreasing growth rates in modern echinoids. So far, in the case of echinoids, the so-called ‘Lilliput Effect’ has been only recognized in the early Danian (early Paleogene) heart urchins (Atelostomata). Thus, our study shows that the reduction in the body size in echinoids was a more common biotic response to environmental stress than previously thought. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {Neptunian dikes, representing deposit-filling fractures in older rocks, have long attracted the attention of paleontologists because they may provide unique insights into ancient cryptic submarine cave ecosystems. In the epicratonic Poland, fossil-bearing neptunian dikes are especially well known in Upper Jurassic (mainly Oxfordian) strata. However, the age, origin and faunal composition of these dikes remain the subject of debates. To address these issues, we integrated new paleontological and petrographic data from the Janina Quarry in southern Poland, where neptunian dikes are particularly well exposed. On the basis of sedimentary facies and faunal content occurring as infill of the analyzed dikes, we recognized three distinct stages of Neptunian dike development. Initially, these dikes represented fissures in the sea bottom resulting from the intense Oxfordian and/or Kimmeridgian synsedimentary processes related to Meso- and Neocimmerian tectonic movements. These initial voids were colonized by small crinoids (cyrtocrinids) and brachiopods (lacunosselids), which resulted in the formation of bioclastic limestones. This is the first Mesozoic record of cryptic cyrtocrinids, which implies that migration of this echinoderm group to cryptic habitats has already occurred in the Late Jurassic, consistent with the so-called Mesozoic Marine Revolution. After the initial opening and subsequent rapid sedimentary filling of voids, rejuvenation of these dikes occurred in the Aptian-Cenomanian that was likely induced by the Austrian tectonic phase. Reopened fissures were subsequently filled by rare allochthonous echinoderms and sandstones containing unusually high (5% vol.) content of heavy minerals implying the Bohemian Massif as the most probable source area. The neptunian dikes were finally reopened during the Turonian-Santonian that was probably related to the subhercynnian tectonic phase. They were presumably inhabited by annelids and ultimately filled by a micritic sediment subsequently bioturbated by infaunal echinoids. © 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.},

abstract = {The taxonomic validity of some crinoid species belonging to the genus Phyllocrinus from the Štramberk limestones has been the source of confusion and uncertainty. It has been long argued that the morphology of interradial processes is the primary character differentiating phyllocrinid species. However, it has been pointed out recently that the morphology of interradial processes varies widely and that the number of phyllocrinid species from the Štramberk and the so-called Štramberktype limestones may be overestimated. Here, we use multivariate methods to determine morphogroups among six Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous populations of three phyllocrinid species Phyllocrinus malbosianus, P. sinuatus, and P. stellaris from two localities Poland and Czech Republic. Using four simple morphological characters, we tested for taxonomic separation among these populations. Principal component analysis results show a clear separation of the three species in the morphospace, although geographic separation among populations of the same species is less clear. However, examined populations display different allometric trajectories. Furthermore, the size-free canonical variate analysis revealed six size-invariant morphogroups that are statistically distinct. These results do not match predictions provided by traditional classification in the diagnosis. In contrast to previous suggestions, our results show that the number of phyllocrinid species from the Štramberk and Štramberk- Type limestones is not overestimated. It is unknown whether the observed differences among populations from the two localities are due to the extreme phenotypic plasticity or to the presence of so far undescribed species. © 2016 E.

Some organisms also underwent morphological changes, including reduction in size. This anoxic event drove other changes-e.g., in habitats or strategy of life. We show that stalkless crinoids (comatulids) from the Turonian of Poland adapted to unfavorable environmental conditions by reducing their body size.

abstract = {Numerous coprolites are described for the first time herein from the Lower Triassic (Olenekian) shallow marine sedimentary rocks in southern Poland. X-ray Diffraction and geochemical analyses show that they are preserved as calcium phosphate with small admixtures of quartz and calcite. Additionally, SEM and thin section studies revealed that they contain highly fragmented faunal remains (crinoids; molluscs and vertebrates). The size, shape, geochemistry, biostratigraphic distribution and co-occurrence with vertebrate skeletal remains imply that the coprolites at hand were likely produced by nothosaurids, the durophagous sauropterygian reptiles and actinopterygian (ray-finned) fish. The large number of recorded coprolites implies that durophagous predation has been intense during the Early Triassic and suggests that the so-called Mesozoic Marine Revolution probably started soon after the end-Permian extinction. Furthermore, discovery of sinusoidal trails attributable to nematodes in some coprolites implies that the intestinal parasitic associations with these predators had already evolved by at least the Early Triassic. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {The end-Permian mass extinction constituted a major event in the history of crinoids. It led to the demise of the major Paleozoic crinoid groups including cladids, disparids, flexibles and camerates. It is widely accepted that a single lineage, derived from a late Paleozoic cladid ancestor (Ampelocrinidae), survived this mass extinction. Holocrinid crinoids (Holocrinus; Holocrinida) along with recently described genus Baudicrinus (Encrinida), the only crinoid groups known from the Early Triassic, are considered the stem groups for the post-Paleozoic monophyletic subclass Articulata. Here, we report preliminary data on unexpectedly diverse crinoid faunas comprising at least four orders from the Lower Triassic (Induan and Olenekian) of Svalbard, extending their stratigraphic ranges deeper into the early Mesozoic. These findings strongly imply that the recovery of crinoids in the aftermath of the end-Permian extinction began much earlier at higher palaeolatitudes than in the central Tethys. © 2015 Polish Academy of Sciences.},

abstract = {Recent observations indicate that shell fragmentation can be a useful tool in assessing crushing predation in marine communities. However, criteria for recognizing shell breakage caused by durophagous predators versus physical factors are still not well established. Here, we provide data from tumbling and aquarium experiments to argue that physical and biotic processes lead to different patterns of shell damage, specifically that angular shell fragments are good indicators of durophagous predation. Using such angular shell fragments as a predation proxy, we analyze data from 57 European Paleozoic localities spanning the Ordovician through the Mississippian. Our results reveal a significant increase in angular shell fragments (either occurring as isolated valves or present in regurgitalites) in the Mississippian. The timing of this increase is coincident with the increased diversity of crushing predators as well as marked anti-predatory changes in the architecture and mode of life of invertebrate prey observed after the end-Devonian Hangenberg extinction (359 Ma). More specifically, the observed trend in shell fragmentation constitutes strong and independent confirmation of a recently suggested end-Devonian changeover in the primary method of fish predation from shearing to crushing. These results also highlight the important effect of extinction events, not only on taxonomic diversity, but also on the nature of predator-prey interactions. © 2014 The Paleontological Society.

abstract = {Muscular articulations in modern stalked crinoids are only present in the arms. Although it has been suggested that certain coiled-stemmed fossil taxa may have been functionally adapted to utilize muscles, evidence supporting this interpretation is lacking. Here, we use cathodoluminescence and SEM to reveal the skeletal microstructure of the enigmatic coiled-stemmed taxon Ammonicrinus (Flexibilia). Based on the well-established link between skeletal microstructure and the nature of infilling soft tissues in modern echinoderms, we reconstructed the palaeoanatomy of the Middle Devonian ammonicrinids. We show that their median columnals with elongated lateral columnal enclosure extensions (LCEE) have stereom microstructure unexpectedly resembling that in the crinoid muscular arm plates. In particular, large ligamentary facets, that are present on each side of a transverse ridge, are mainly comprised of fine galleried stereom that is indicative of the mutable collagenous tissues. In contrast, fine labyrinthic stereom, commonly associated with muscles, is situated in the periphery on each side of the surface of elongated LCEE. Our findings thus strongly suggest that the muscles may have also been present in the stem of ammonicrinids. These results reassess the previous hypotheses about evolution of muscles in crinoids and provide new insights into the mode of life of Ammonicrinus.},

abstract = {Abundantly fossiliferous Upper Cretaceous sediments including decapod remains in the region of Stary Waliszów (Southern Poland) have been known for many years. To date, however, no study has dealt specifically with detailed palaeoenvironmental and palaeoecological reconstruction. The origin of these sediments is still uncertain and has been the source of considerable confusion and controversy, mainly due to the strong bioturbation and decalcification of these sediments. By using the fossil record, comparative taphonomy and geochemical analyses of concretions, we provide new insights into the paleoenvironment and the paleoecology of this unique Coniacian ecosystem.On the basis of ichno- and body fossil assemblages composed almost exclusively of benthic organisms such as decapods, molluscs and echinoderms, which are commonly disarticulated but rarely abraded, we suggest that the fossiliferous sediments in Stary Waliszów were formed in shallow, normal saline and well-oxygenated waters of the upper sublittoral zone with moderate sedimentation rate and low turbulence of waters. The presence of angular terrigenous clasts, well-preserved delicate land flora and the near absence of planktonic and nektonic fossils strongly imply proximity to the land. Recorded taxa inhabited a soft-bottom environment. Some organisms were fossilized inside siderite concretions. These concretions were formed within the sediment below the zone of active bioturbation during the early stage of diagenesis. Remarkable preservation of decapod remains is due to phosphatization, which replaced the cuticle. © 2014.},

Thanks to their remarkable properties, these calcitic microlenses serve as an inspiration for scientists across various disciplines among which bio-inspired engineering. However, the evolutionary origins of these microlenses remain obscure. Here we provide microstructural evidence showing that analogous spherical calcitic lenses had been acquired in some brittle stars and starfish of Poland by the Late Cretaceous (Campanian; ~79 Ma).

abstract = {Despite a wide array of published actualistic studies on echinoderm taphonomy the detailed pattern of decay and disarticulation of their skeletons is still not well understood. Here we provide results of tumbling experiments using a rotating barrel filled with artificial seawater and medium-sized quartz sand to mimic physical forces experienced by echinoderms during transportation in high-energy conditions. In particular, we determined semi-quantitatively transportation-induced rates and patterns of damage and disintegration of freshly killed ophiuroid, asteroid and crinoid skeletons that were not allowed to decay initially. Our experiments showed that echinoderm specimens disintegrated in a characteristic sequence toward an increase of the degree of disarticulation, abrasion and roundness or thinness of echinoderm ossicles. The sequence of disintegration in crinoids began with the partial disintegration of distal arms after 2. h (a time equivalent to ~. 1. km of transport). The initial split of ophiuroid and asteroid arms and crinoid cirri occurred after 24. h (~. 12. km) and complete destruction of the asteroid mouth and ophiuroid disk area occurred after 72. h (~. 36. km). The duration of transport necessary to promote initial fragmentation in asteroid and ophiuroid arms and crinoid cirri into isolated ossicles was 120. h (~. 60. km). The complete disarticulation of crinoid, ophiuroid and asteroid arms and crinoid cirri occurred after 312. h (~. 156. km) and 408. h (~. 204. km), respectively. Although it has been argued that the quality of preservation can be a poor index of post-mortem transport, echinoderms allowed limited initial decay in the presence of rapid and relatively constant physical disturbance, an approximation of the distance of transport can be made.Our data demonstrate that articulated ossicles can remain for several days, sufficient time for long (even a few hundred. km) transportation. This finding illustrates that articulated echinoderm remains do not necessarily imply low energy and highlights the importance of a reliable discrimination of autochthonous and allochthonous components of fossil echinoderm assemblages. Application of, in particular, isolated fossil echinoderm ossicles in e.g. paleoenvironmental and paleoecological reconstructions may lead to serious misinterpretations and should be supplemented by observations of abrasion traces. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.},

However, recognition of traces of predatory origin from those formed by abiotic factors still waits for a rigorous evaluation as a prerequisite to ascertain predation intensity through geologic time and to test macroevolutionary patterns. New experimental data from tumbling various extant shells demonstrate that abrasion may leave holes strongly resembling the traces produced by drilling predators. They typically represent singular, circular to oval penetrations perpendicular to the shell surface. These data provide an alternative explanation to the drilling predation hypothesis for the origin of holes recorded in fossil shells. Although various non-morphological criteria (evaluation of holes for non-random distribution) and morphometric studies (quantification of the drill hole shape) have been employed to separate biological from abiotic traces, these are probably insufficient to exclude abrasion artifacts, consequently leading to overestimate predation intensity. As a result, from now on, we must adopt more rigorous criteria to appropriately distinguish abrasion artifacts from drill holes, such as microstructural identification of micro-rasping traces. © 2013 Gorzelak et al.},

abstract = {Sea urchins are a major component of recent marine communities where they exert a key role as grazers and benthic predators. However, their impact on past marine organisms, such as crinoids, is hard to infer in the fossil record. Analysis of bite mark frequencies on crinoid columnals and comprehensive genus-level diversity data provide unique insights into the importance of sea urchin predation through geologic time. These data show that over the Mesozoic, predation intensity on crinoids, as measured by bite mark frequencies on columnals, changed in step with diversity of sea urchins. Moreover, Mesozoic diversity changes in the predatory sea urchins show a positive correlation with diversity of motile crinoids and a negative correlation with diversity of sessile crinoids, consistent with a crinoid motility representing an effective escape strategy. We contend that the Mesozoic diversity history of crinoids likely represents a macroevolutionary response to changes in sea urchin predation pressure and that it may have set the stage for the recent pattern of crinoid diversity in which motile forms greatly predominate and sessile forms are restricted to deep-water refugia.},

abstract = {Durophagous predation has been an important cause of significant evolutionary changes in the history of life. One of the most dramatic predation-driven changes in marine ecosystems occurred during the middle and late Mesozoic, which has been called the Mesozoic Marine Revolution (MMR). At this time, diversification of various predators elicited many escalation-related adaptations among prey taxa including trends toward infaunalization, elaboration of armor shells, and environmental restriction. However, the rise of this phenomenon has been the source of considerable debate. Initially, it has been argued that these major evolutionary changes began in the Jurassic and continued to accelerate in the Cretaceous. Although recent reports have shown that the MMR may have actually started soon after the end-Permian extinction in some groups, Triassic records of predation on benthic organisms are still very scant. Here, we report several bromalites (most probably regurgitalites) from the Middle Triassic of the Gogolin Formation, Upper Silesia, southern Poland. They are in a form of distinct and packed accumulations of intermingled fossil remains composed primarily of various angular bivalve shell fragments with sharp, non-abraded margins as well as crinoid ossicles with common signs of breakage. These dispersions of material are up to 99. mm in maximum diameter. It is suggested that these accumulations represent orally ejected waste produced by durophagous animals, most probably by durophagous sharks, colobodontid fish, placodonts, and some pachypleurosaurs or sauropterygian reptiles. All of these taxa have been recorded in the Middle Triassic of Poland. The feasibility of these vertebrates as potential agents of the present bromalites is discussed. We suggest that many morphological and behavioral innovations in the Triassic gastropods, bivalves and crinoids are escalation-related adaptations to durophagous predators and that the Mesozoic Marine Revolution was a far more prolonged evolutionary event than its name indicates. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.},

Until now, the youngest known, though not yet described, holocrinid representatives were specimens of Holocrinus nov. sp. from the early Tuvalian (Carnian). Here, we report dissociated but relatively well-preserved crinoid remains from the Rhaetian of central Iran resembling two taxa: Holocrinus sp. and Isocrinus sp. (both sensu lato). The holocrinid ossicles are represented mainly by internodals, but two nodals have been also reported. One of them (pluricolumnal consisting of nodal and infranodal) possesses undifferentiated symplectical lower facets which makes possible a reliable assignment to the genus level. The presented material constitutes the youngest known holocrinid crinoids to date. © 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.},

The present paper describes two articulated crowns of this species, an adult and a juvenile(?) specimen, found in the Lower Muschelkalk of Raciborowice. Both specimens display a distinct purple to violet coloration. Chemical analysis based on ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy and mass spectrometry provides evidence that the characteristic color is due to the presence of organic compounds, fossil hypericinoid pigments, which are closely related to pigments of Recent crinoids. The new occurrence from the early Pelsonian Punctospirella Bed indicates that fossil hypericinoid pigments were more widespread in encrinids than previously known. Sedimentation conditions of the intraformational conglomerates, in which these crinoids were found, are discussed. © 2011 E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung Stuttgart Germany.},

Recent finds of well-preserved roveacrinidal remains (brachials and radials) in the Danian (Early Paleogene) of Poland showed that they survived into the earliest Cenozoic. This group was thus characterized as a "dead clade walking". Here, we present fossil evidence that these pelagic crinoids survived in Poland until at least the Middle Miocene (Badenian; ca. 14 Myr ago)-more than 50 Myr after their supposed extinction. These Miocene roveacrinids constitute the first documented evidence of Roveacrinida in strata of Neogene age, thus prolonging the stratigraphic range of pelagic crinoids.

abstract = {It has been argued that increases in predation over geological time should result in increases in defensive adaptations in prey taxa. Recent in situ and laboratory observations indicate that cidaroid sea urchins feed on live stalked crinoids, leaving distinct bite marks on their skeletal elements. Similar bite marks on fossil crinoids from Poland strongly suggest that these animals have been subject to echinoid predation since the Triassic. Following their near-demise during the end-Permian extinction, crinoids underwent a major evolutionary radiation during the Middle-Late Triassic that produced distinct morphological and behavioral novelties, particularly motile taxa that contrasted strongly with the predominantly sessile Paleozoic crinoid faunas. We suggest that the appearance and subsequent evolutionary success of motile crinoids were related to benthic predation by post-Paleozoic echinoids with their stronger and more active feeding apparatus and that, in the case of crinoids, the predation-driven Mesozoic marine revolution started earlier than in other groups, perhaps soon after the end-Permian extinction.},

The youngest record of the genus Hemicrinus was previously known from the Albian sediments. The presence of cyrtocrinid families (Holopodidae; Phyllocrinidae; Plicatocrinidae or Tetracrinidae) was confirmed in the Upper Cretaceous sediments. These finds constitute the youngest record of the families Phyllocrinidae and Plicatocrinidae [or Tetracrinidae] to date. Comparison of the crinoid variability in the studied units and evolution of Late Cretaceous cyrtocrinids are presented. The present paper discusses also the significance of the Polish Late Cretaceous crinoids for their diversity and disparity in the Middle-Upper Cretaceous. Additionally, taphonomic observations have been conducted. A very high percentage of bite-marks and aberrant growths indicates that predation on stalked crinoids has been intense during the Late Mesozoic. © 2010 E.

The fauna comprises isocrinids (Balanocrinus subteres; B. gillieroni; "Isocrinus?" lissajouxi), millericrinids (Apiocrinites sp.) and comatulids (Comatulida indet.). For comparison, a few samples of isocrinids from Valanginian strata of Hungary (Tethyan province) were also analysed. The isocrinids, cyrtocrinids and roveacrinids (sensu Rasmussen 1978 inclusive of Saccocoma sp.) were already known from the Valanginian of the southernmost Tethyan regions of Poland (Pieniny Klippen Belt and Tatra Mountains). The current study demonstrates their occurrence in central epicratonic Poland, and suggests that many Jurassic to Cretaceous stalked crinoid taxa (mainly isocrinids) predominated in the shallow-water settings of this area. Thus, the hypothesis of migration (at least from mid-Cretaceous onwards) to deep-water areas, as a response to an increase of the number of predators during the Mesozoic marine revolution, seems not to be universally applicable. © 2009 Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel.},

This is the first dense occurrence of the genus Glenotremites in the Upper Cretaceous of Poland. Furthermore, so many individuals of this species in one level (the so-called Conulus Bed) forming a crinoid Konzentrat-Lagerstätte are very surprising because only disarticulated remains (cirrals and brachials) are encountered in the older (Cenomanian and earliest Turonian) and younger (late Turonian) deposits. The Glenotremites individuals are accompanied by isocrinids, which prove that stalked forms remained in shallow-water settings for some time after the initiation of the Mesozoic marine revolution. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.

abstract = {Although most investigations of crinoid-predator interactions have focused on nektonic vertebrates (fishes and sharks), slow-moving benthic animals such as cidaroid echinoids may also interact antagonistically with stalked crinoids. This was recently supported by observations of extant isocrinids in modern deep-sea environments near the west end of Grand Bahama Island. In this paper, we report on stalks of crinoids from the Late Jurassic of south-central Poland, which co-occur with remains of cidaroids and show characteristic holes, bite marks, and signs of breakage. By analogy with the modern example, we interpret this as evidence of predation by cidaroids on crinoids. These Late Jurassic data may indicate that benthic predation was intense during the mid-Mesozoic. Importantly, this discovery also strengthens the hypothesis that benthic predators may have exerted considerable influence on the evolution of stalked crinoids.

abstract = {The taphonomy of three Middle Triassic (Muschelkalk) monospecific ophiuroid taphocoenoses, comprising Aspiduriella similis (Eck), from different regions in Poland (Holy Cross Mountains; Upper Silesia and North-Sudetic Basin) has been investigated. The majority of specimens (88.5% of a total of 428 individuals) are partially disarticulated, having only proximal and median portions of their arms preserved (Taphonomic Group 2). Pristine specimens, with only faint traces of disarticulation (Taphonomic Group 1), as well as those that preserve the disc only, or which have only proximal stumps of arms preserved (Taphonomic Group 3), are much rarer (6.5% and 5%; respectively). Moreover, most specimens (76.4%) are oral side up. Only 19.2% of specimens are preserved in life position, and a small fraction (4.4%) are preserved oblique to bedding. All ophiuroids studied occur in thin, pelitic layers devoid of any trace fossils. Associated body fossils, such as bivalves, gastropods or crinoids, are very rare. Taking into account ophiuroid taphonomy, as well as sedimentological characteristics of the thin layer (burial layer), it is clear that all assemblages were transported prior to burial. The predominance of articulated skeletons indicates that the burial event (obrution event) was not only rapid, but also single -subsequent events would have destroyed the previously buried ophiuroids. Storm-related resuspension of fine-grained material from nearshore environments which covered the ophiuroids is the most likely burial agent. The fact that in all regions the ophiuroid taphofacies studied is identical suggests that the three assemblages underwent the same burial history, and that a single event might have been responsible. © 2007 The Author, Journal compilation © 2007 The Lethaia Foundation.},

Based on this material which includes a complete calyx, a definitive generic assignation was possible. For comparison purposes, the cup of this crinoid from Oxfordian deposits of southern Poland was studied. The crinoid is characterised by a large, distinctly pentagonal, very low and wide cup. In comparison to a closely related Jurassic species, Millericrinus charpyi, the present find comes from younger strata. Moreover, M. milleri differs from M. charpyi by possessing a smooth lateral surface of calyx. In case of M. charpyi, it is covered with ten oval bosses. The crinoid was co-occurring with some special echinoids and bivalves and other typical indicators of coralliferous shallow water deposits that suggests the neighbourhood of firmgrounds or hardgrounds in a shallow water environment, which is completely eroded today. © 2008 E.

In this paper, evidence of durophagous predation on Middle Jurassic communities of molluscan prey is presented on the basis of distinct accumulations of fossil remains in the Polish Jura (south-central Poland) that contain characteristic, angular shell fragments with sharp, non-abraded margins. The diverse fossil content of the accumulations studied, consisting of either benthic or nektic/nekto-benthic taxa, indicates that the potential predatory taxon was an opportunistic generalist, most probably fish. On the basis of taphonomic observations, the faunal accumulations are interpreted to represent regurgitated remains (pellets). The common occurrence of such accumulations in the Middle Jurassic clays of the Polish Jura indicates that durophagous predation has been intense since the mid-Mesozoic, at least locally. © 2008 The Palaeontological Association.},

abstract = {Distinct faunal accumulations in the uppermost Bajocian/lowermost Bathonian, lowermost and Middle Bathonian of the Polish Jura (south-central Poland) have been detected. The fossils are densely packed in the centre of the accumulations and more or less dispersed in their margins. The accumulations vary in size, but all are rich in various groups of organisms, of which the molluscs (mainly bivalves) and echinoderms predominate. The echinoderms are all disarticulated, and shelly fauna occur as angular fragments with sharp edges, of random sizes and without any signs of abrasion. The different sizes of the fossil remains, from tiny echinoderm ossicles or juvenile shelly fauna to medium-sized shell fragments or belemnite rostra, exclude any transportation and thus sorting. Worth of noting is the occurrence of similar faunal groups in each accumulation. The general shape and composition of the accumulations, as well as their taphonomical features, especially the angularity of shell fragments, point to durophagous (shell-crushing) predation rather than physical processes. The various organisms may indicate that the potential predator (most probably fish) fed on various invertebrates. The indigestible particles were later regurgitated forming the accumulations discussed. The presence of various epibionts on the fossil fragments indicate, that they rested upon the sea-floor for some time-span after they had been regurgitated. Then the scavengers, as well as current action or water movements, have been responsible for dispersion of some of the fossils, as is well-visible at the margins of the investigated accumulations.},

abstract = {A systematic account of a diverse crinoid fauna from the Middle Jurassic (Upper Bajocian-Callovian) of the Polish Jura Chain and Holy Cross Mountains (south-central Poland) is presented. The description is supplemented with a list of all crinoid species found hitherto in the Tatra Mountains and the Pieniny Klippen Belt (Poland), which were a part of the northern margin of the Tethys during Middle Jurassic time. Balanocrinus hessi seems to be endemic and established its own population in the epicontinental sea. Other stalked crinoids entered from the Tethys through the East-Carpathian Gate or from a westerly way, and constitute a typical Mediterranean fauna. Stemless forms are regarded to be unsuccessful immigrants. The crinoid remains are preserved mostly as columnals and pluricolumnals, the majority of which are encrusted and bored by various epi- and endobionts. No encrustation or boring, however, occurred during the lifetime of these crinoids. The association of well-preserved columnals/pluricolumnals with the broken and abraded isolated columnals, may be the evidence of a within-habitat time-averaging of the crinoid assemblages. © 2007 Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel Zusammenfassung.: Aus mitteljurassischen (Bajocian-Callovian) Sedimenten des südlichen Zentralpolens (Krakow-Czȩstochowa Hochland und Heilig-Kreuz Gebirge) wird eine diverse Crinoidenfauna systematisch beschrieben und stratigraphisch eingestuft. Die Beschreibung wird durch eine Zusammenstellung sämtlicher Crinoiden-Spezies ergänzt, die bislang im Tatra-Gebirge und im Pieniny Klippen-Gürtel gefunden wurden. Beide Regionen waren während des Mittleren Jura Teil des Nordrandes der Tethys. Balanocrinus hessi bildete eigenständige Populationen in diesem epikontinentalen Meeresbereich und scheint endemisch gewesen zu sein. Andere gestielte Crinoiden drangen aus der Tethys durch die Ost-Karpaten-Pforte oder aus westlicher Richtung vor und stellen typische mediterrane Faunenelemente dar. Ungestielten tethyalen Formen gelang offensichtlich keine Einwanderung. Die Assoziation von gut erhaltenen Columnalien/Pluricolumnalien mit zerbrochenen und abgenutzten Columnalien könnte als 'time averaging' der Crinoidenvergesellschaftungen gesehen werden. © 2007 Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel.},

abstract = {Distinct faunal aggregates are described from the Middle Jurassic (uppermost Bajocian/lowermost Bathonian and Middle Bathonian) clay deposits of Czȩstochowa area, south-central Poland. These aggregates are composed of molluscs (scaphopods; gastropods; bivalves; ammonites and belemnites), articulate brachiopods and echinoderms (asteroids; crinoids and echinoids). A large percentage of the fossils, especially bivalves, are fragmented, but some fossils are complete. Although most of the fossils are crushed and fragmented, they are still identifiable to at least the genus level. Thorough statistical analysis of taphonomic features indicates that the preservation of asteroid marginal plates is distinct from the ossicles derived from the host clays. The high frequency of bite marks and the good state of preservation suggest that the accumulations are the products of predation activities and most probably are the effect of regurgitation. Taking into account the rich and diverse fauna, the predator was a bottom-feeding generalist. Possible predators include palaeospinacid sharks, a tooth of which was collected from the same bedding surface, but not associated with regurgitated remains. Although the bite marks on the asteroid ossicles point to sharks as potential producers of regurgitates, other vertebrates, like durophagous pycnodontiform fish, cannot be excluded. © 2007 The Authors, Journal compilation © 2007 The Lethaia Foundation.},

Published records of bourgueticrinids from Poland are surprisingly few; only specifically indeterminate columnals, radicular cirri and a sole proximate, plus a single cup of Bourgueticrinus utriculatus have been noted. The present material, although limited, clearly demonstrates that these crinoids must have been less rare than anticipated and are, in fact, distributed throughout the entire Upper Cretaceous sequence in this area. The majority of bourgueticrinids had an extensive root system (radicular cirri) and their presence thus allows some conclusions regarding substrate consistency (softground) to be drawn. A striking feature the present faunules is the small cup size in comparison to material from elsewhere in northern Europe, possibly an ecophenotypical expression. Species distinction within the genus Bourgueticrinus is still contentious and we refer to our material in open nomenclature.},

The degree of endemism of the crinoid fauna in the Muschelkalk is markedly lower than the degree of endemism of the rest of the benthonic macrofauna.

abstract = {Remains of the giant millericrinid Pomatocrinus mespiliformis from Lower Kimmeridgian strata at Małogoszcz (Central Poland) represent the first record of this species from the Polish Epicratonic Jurassic. The material comprises holdfasts, stem fragments and a single cup. Most material belongs to adults, but small holdfasts suggest juveniles to have been present as well. Holdfasts and some of the columnals preserve their organic pigments (fringelites), violet to purple in color, attesting to rapid burial of these crinoid remains and/or the occurrence of local reducing conditions beneath the sediment surface. The absence of intact crinoids indicates that some of the skeletal elements experienced transport in the shallow and agitated environment represented by the oolitic banks, thereby explaining the common occurrence of holdfasts with distal columnals, constituting true 'rooting grounds', but the almost complete lack of calyces with proximal columnals. The taphonomy of crinoids, as well as regular echinoids, suggests that the time of post-mortem exposure on the seafloor was less than two weeks. © 2005 E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung.},

abstract = {Due to their poor fossilization potential, fully articulated ophiuroids are extremely rare in the fossil record. Therefore much of their evolutionary history is based on the study of isolated skeletal elements. In this paper the mass-occurrence and taphonomy of articulated ophiuroids from the Middle Triassic of Wojkowice, Upper Silesia (S. Poland) is described. The assemblages consist of monospecific and multiindividual beds with small ophiuroids Aspiduriella similis (Eck). Among 134 analysed specimens, 86 % are partially disarticulated, without distal and middle parts of their arms. Nearly all specimens are preserved with their oral side turned up. The high percentage of articulated specimens embedded within thin, fine-grained layer underlied by biomicrites with a few crinoid ossicles, indicates rapid burial in the deeper part of the shelf, below the crinoids habitat, caused by high-energy (storm) event in a shallow part of the basin. Apart from palaeobiological merit, such obrution deposits, characteristic for many Konzentrat-Lagerstätten accumulations, are very useful in recognizing the sedimentary environment dynamics and in stratigraphic correlations.},

Ceratites from the spinosus group found there include Ceratites (Acanthoceratites) cf. praespinosus, found for the first time in Upper Silesia. Five ceratite zones are proposed for that region: pulcher, robustus, compressus, evolutus and spinosus. The taxonomic compositions of individual ceratite zones from Upper Silesia are almost identical to those of corresponding zones from the Holy Cross Mountains. However, ceratite zones in Poland show lower taxonomic diversity than their equivalents in Germany.},

abstract = {The results of GC-MS investigations of biomarkers in organic matter from the epicontinental Permian and Triassic strata of the Holy Cross Mts. indicate generally suboxic (Permian) and oxic (Triassic, except for the Middle Muschelkalk) depositional environments with accompanying intensive bacterial reworking of organic remains. The biomarker spectra found in the Middle Muschelkalk and in the Entolium discites Beds (Upper Muschelkalk) show the presence of gammacerane, an increased concentration of C34 homohopanes and a Pr/Ph ratio not exceeding 1. All these observations suggest a hypersaline sedimentary environment with water column stratification and poorly oxygenated conditions. Thermal maturity investigations were based on both vitrinite reflectance and biomarker indices. The organic matter in the Triassic succession is slightly more mature along the northern margin of the Holy Cross Mts. than along their southern part, due probably to a regional increase in the maximum burial depth during the Mesozoic. The maturity of the Permian strata at Gałęzice (southern Holy Cross Mts.) is similar to that of the Triassic rocks whereas Kajetanów (in the north) is characterised by values significantly higher and comparable to those found in wells further north. The difference cannot be accounted for solely by differential burial depths, and implies the existence of a positive thermal anomaly active before the Middle Triassic. Our investigations generally confirmed the low thermal maturity of the Triassic. However, contrary to earlier interpretations, we suggest that the maximum burial depths based on a reconstructed thickness of the post-Triassic deposits may account for the observed maturity levels, assuming that geothermal gradients in the Mesozoic were similar to today's.},
