The genera Poteriocrinus, Cyathocrinus, Pentremites, Antinocrinus, and Platycrinus are all of them characteristic of this formation. Other Echinoderms are rare, a few Sea-TJrchins only being known: these have a complex structure, with many more plates on their surface than are seen in the modern genera of the same group. One genus, the Palcechinus (fig. 569), is the analogue of the modern Fier. 569.
