Re: paleonet Saccocoma

["Hans Hess" <hans.hess@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleague,
I advise you to consult the recently published book "Fossil Crinoids"
(Cambridge University Press, 1999) which I edited with others and wrote a
chapter on the Upper Jurassic Solnofen Plattenkalk of Bavaria, mostly
dealing with Saccocoma. I have also published a paper "Saccocomen aus dem
Malm Süddeutschlands und ihre Lebensweise" in the popular magazine
"Fossilien" , vol. 17 (no. 6), 2000, p. 347-358, where additional
information is given.
Best wishes, Hans Hess

Dear colleagues,

I am looking for new references on the crinoid genus SACCOCOMA. In 1994,
C. Milson (Palaeontology, vol. 37/1) suggested that Saccocoma is a
benthic, but not a pelagic crinoid. Do you know any new studies on the
paleoecology of Saccocoma, especially on the depth distribution?

Thank you in advance,
Michael Rasser
