Family Taranshicrinidae Sisova, 1988

Taranshicrinus vulgaris Sisova, 1988 ( Fig. 3T, U ).—The material contains 19 columnals and short pluricolumnals. The heteromorphic stem is composed of relatively high columnals with gently convex latus, sometimes covered with minute tubercles, and with large cirrus scars on nodals. The articular facet is flat with medium−sized, pentagonal to circular lumen surrounded by perilumen. The crenularium is narrow, composed of short, straight and rather coarse culmina. Poorly preserved specimens from some localities were previously ( Głuchowski 1981a, b) classified as Hexacrinites ? sp. Occurs in the Pa. crepida to S. praesulcata zones: Kowala (samples Ko−B and C), Kadzielnia, Góra Łgawa. The species was first described from the late Famennian of Central Kasakhstan ( Sisova 1988).
