Comment on “The ‘living-fossil’ community of the cyrtocrinid Cyathidium foresti and the deep-sea oyster Neopycnodonte zibrowii (Azores Archipelago)” by M. Wisshak, C. Neumann, J. Jakobsen and A. Freiwald [Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 271 (2009) 77–83]

摘要: Abstract Wisshak et al. (2009. The ‘living-fossil community’ of the cyrtocrinid Cyathidium foresti and deep-sea oyster Neopycnodonte zibrowii (Azores Archipelago). Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 271, 77–83) criticized speculation by Donovan Jakobsen that an association Danian cyrtocrinids barnacles may have occurred on a floating log. This is unlikely to be allochthonous; no convenient hard substrate (= overhang) for attachment these crinoids was available close at hand; holopodid migration into deeper water about this time, but shallow relic cannot dismissed out strict Lyellian comparison with modern occurrences not necessarily correct. We stand our original speculation.
