Extinct genus of crinoids From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solanocrinus thiollieri is an extinct species of crinoids from Jura, France.[1] Like other feather stars, Solanocrinus did not have a stem and was not attached to the ocean floor. Instead, it possessed 22 prehensile tendrils, called "cirri," which it used to grab onto rocks.
