The dominant faunal elements in shallow Paleozoic oceans,
echinoderms are important to understanding these marine ecosystems.
Echinoderms (which include such animals as sea stars, crinoids or
sea lilies, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers) have left
a rich and, for science, extremely useful fossil record. For
various reasons, they provide the ideal source for answers to the
questions that will help us develop a more complete understanding
of global environmental and biodiversity changes. This volume
highlights the modern study of fossil echinoderms and is organized
into five parts: echinoderm paleoecology, functional morphology,
and paleoecology; evolutionary paleoecology; morphology for refined
phylogenetic studies; innovative applications of data encoded in
echinoderms; and information on new crinoid data sets.
