〕}} }} ''Encrinus'' is an extinct genus of crinoid, and "one of the most famous". It lived during the Middle Triassic, and its fossils have been found in Europe. ==History== Fossils of ''Encrinus'' went by several names in Germany before the establishment of modern paleontology. In Lower Saxony, they were called ''Sonnenräder'' ("sun wheels"), while in Thuringia and Hesse they were called ''Bonifatiuspfennige'' ("Saint Boniface's pennies"). In southwestern Germany, they went by ''Hexengeld'' ("witches' money"). The animal was correctly reconstructed for the first time in 1729, although various parts of the animal had been described before that. ''Encrinus'' was described in 1764. It was assigned to the order Encrinida by Jack Sepkoski in 2002.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=''Encrinus'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Encrinus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
