Crinoids are largely considered as good indicators for determining environmental conditions. They are robust proxies for inferring changes in salinity and sedimentation rate and for inferring substrate type. Some crinoid groups (e.g., certain comatulids, cyrtocrinids, millericrinids) have a depth pr...
