Cystoidea (illustration), an extinct class of primitive stalked echinoderms that flourished from the Middle Ordovician to the Late Devonian. They generally consist of spherical bracts, which are covered with many irregular limestone plates. Important characteristics are the nature of the holes in the limestone plates and the finger plates for ingesting food. They survived by attaching themselves directly to features on the seafloor with their bracts or stalks. [Morishita Akira]
