Abstract

This paper describes the Triassic ophiuroid genus Aspiduriella and outlines the stratigraphic ranges of crinoids and echinoids in the Lower Muschelkalk strata of the North-Sudetic Basin. It is shown that, contrary to previous opinion, echinoderm taxa occurred in the North-Sudetic Basin at the same time as in other areas of the eastern part of the Germanic Basin.
