Abstract

A new flexible crinoid, Neotaxocrinus arendti gen. et sp. nov., from the Upper Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) deposits of the Moscow Region is described. The new genus is the latest of the reliable representatives of taxocrinid flexibles and is characterized by the reduction in the number of interradial plates to one large plate and by the absence of interbrachial plates of a higher order, which is usually characteristic of Early Paleozoic forms.
