Abstract
Middle–Upper Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) crinoids with aberrant arm branches from the Moscow region are studied. It is shown that aberrations in the arm branches can be the result of mechanical damage during incorrect (augmentative) regeneration, as previously assumed, or the result of initial phenotype disorders. The latter cases show the evolutionary potential of the group. Consolidation of such aberrations in the phylogenies of certain groups of crinoids led to speciation and formation of new taxa.
期刊介绍:
Paleontological Journal (Paleontologicheskii zhurnal) is the principal Russian periodical in paleontology. The journal publishes original work on the anatomy, morphology, and taxonomy of fossil organisms, as well as their distribution, ecology, and origin. It also publishes studies on the evolution of organisms, ecosystems, and the biosphere and provides invaluable information on global biostratigraphy with an emphasis on Eastern Europe and Asia.
