Fwd: paleonet Crinoids and Brachiopods

[Carl Mehling <cosm@xxxxxxxx>]

Apparently, I was a bit vague, so to clarify: what I meant to ask 
was, were crinoids and/or brachiopods known to science as fossils 
before they were discovered to still be living today, as is the case 
with the coelacanth.
Thanks,
Carl
