''Cothurnocystis'' is a genus of small, enigmatic echinoderms that lived during the Ordovician. Individual animals had a flat, boot-shaped body and a thin, rod-shaped appendage that may be a stem, or analogous to a foot or a tail. Fossils of ''Cothurnocystis'' species have been found in Nevada, Scotland, Czech Republic, France and Morocco. == Taxonomy == The position of the Stylophora, of which ''Cothurnocystis'' is a prominent representative, has been in a state of flux. Some scientists claim to be able to see a structurally very basic notochord in the tail, and consequently consider the Stylophora to be a group of primitive chordates, calling them the "Calcichordata". Alternatively these animals are considered related to echinoderms, as the shell (or test) is similar in structure and composition to the tests of echinoderms. However, stylophorans are asymmetric organisms that lack either the radial symmetry typical of most echinoderms, or the bilateral symmetry of the chordates.
