Abstract
The discovery of the arms of the disparid inadunate crinoid Ramseyocrinus Bates from the Arenig (Lower Ordovician) of Morocco extends the geographic range of this genus, previously only known from south Wales, United Kingdom, and the Montagne Noire, France. It is probable that the Moroccan specimen represents a new species. This is the first Lower Ordovician crinoid to be described from Africa.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
