If more is necessary I'll post later when I have access the the full collection rather than just what was on my jumpdrive.

An extinct echinoderm with a body
composed of many plates, and thin, ambulacra-bearing "arms" for food
collection. Most common in the Early Cambrian. Genus _Gogia_.
This morphology is intermediate between the "bag-like" morphology
of some early free-living echinoderms (the helicoplacoids), and later
crinoids. However, they probably represent an independent group that diverged from the crinoid lineage, rather than an ancestor. 1.7X. [(3), p.587]
