The few isolated reports of agelacrinitid edrioasteroids (“Timeischytes”) from the Middle Devonian of the Eifel (Rhenish Massif, Germany) are revised. In this context, a specimen-rich but low-diversity edrioasteroid association is described from the threshold of the Eisen and Latistriatus Members of the Junkerberg Formation (Eifelian, Middle Devonian) of the Blankenheim Syncline. Predominantly, the autochthonously preserved edrioasteroids settled fixosessile-epibenthically on the frequent…

Revision of the Hexacrinitidae (Crinoidea) based on a classical Lower Givetian crinoid deposit (Gerolstein, Eifel/Germany)
- Biology
- 2010
Following a short palaeogeographical and stratigraphical introduction of the Gerolstein Syncline (Eifel, Rhenish Massif), the previously described "Hexacrinites" species of this locality are revised and most of the Eifel species are assigned to the genus Megaradialocrinus, which is herein transferred to superfamily Hexa - crinitoidea and family Hexacrinitidae.

Revision of the Flexible Crinoid Genus Ammonicrinus and a New Hypothesis on Its Life Mode
- Biology
- 2011
A functional morphologic trend in perfecting the crown encasement by continuous modification of the lateral columnal enclosure extensions of the mesistele from the Eifelian to the Givetian, indicates a vagile benthic “predator”-driven evolution of ammonicrinids in the E ifel area.
Cyathotheca suecica and its bearing on the evolution of the Edrioasteroidea
- Geology

The European Ordovician edrioasteroid Cyathotheca has a variable tubular theca composed of a single plate, and this branch represents a separate evolutionary line to the main stromatocystitid-edrioasterid-isorophid line.
First report of aboral cups of the crinoid family Parahexacrinidae from the Middle and Upper Devonian of the Eifel (Germany) and the Holy Cross Mountains (Poland)

New material from the Eifel proved that several of these species are not distinguishable from other crinoid groups, which is demonstrated for “Parahexacrinus ellipticus” and Melocrinites pyramidalis.
