Here is another example : " Crinoid columnal exhibiting the canal pattern of Cupressocrinites characterized by four peripheral canals separated from the central lumen. Cupressocrinites is a widely distributed genus known from the Late Emsian to the Early Frasnian (Ures et al. 1999). " - from Microfacies of carbonate rocks : analysis, interpretation and application - Erik Flügel Just to add : Cupressocrinites gracilis (Goldfuss,1831) - " Species identified on the basis of delicate, tetragonal and rounded stems. Axial canal typically connected by narrow furrows with four peripheral canals. However, some specimens lack the radial connections and in these cases, five independent canals are present.
