Abstract
A new species of the “living fossil” crinoid Cyathidium, C. phosphaticola, is described from lower Campanian phosphatic chalks in southern England and northern France. The squat, robust stalkless crinoid lived in high-energy conditions in phosphate chalk basins, attached to the surface of the basal hardground. Other Cretaceous and lower Paleogene occurrences of the genus, from France, the Czech Republic and Denmark are briefly reviewed.
