Analysis of articulated portions of arms and dissociated brachials in the assemblages allows specimens to be identified and assigned to Bourgueticrinus ex gr. fischeri?, Placometra ex gr. laticirra?, Placometra? sp. and “Isocrinus” sp. The original echinoderm community also included an indeterminate bourgueticrinid with “rhizocrinid” columnals. Life habits and taphonomy of these crinoids are discussed. The type specimen of Bourgueticrinus fischeri from similar crinoid associations in Saxony is in need of revision. ER -
