==Description==

Like other echinoderms, ctenocystoids had a skeleton made of [[stereom]] plates. Ctenocystoids had near bilateral symmetry, with some species exhibiting slightly asymmetric plate shapes. Like cinctans and ''Ctenoimbricata'', most ctenocystoids had large marginal plates surounding the sides of their body, but unlike cinctans and ''Ctenoimbricata'', which had only one row of marginal plates, most ctenocystoids had two rows of marginal plates.

Ctenocystoidea is an extinct clade of echinoderms, which lived during the Cambrian and Ordovician periods. Unlike other echinoderms, ctenocystoids had bilateral symmetry, or were only very slightly asymmetrical. They are believed to be one of the earliest-diverging branches of echinoderms, with their bilateral symmetry a trait shared with other deuterostomes. Ctenocystoids were once classified in the taxon Homalozoa, also known as Carpoidea, alongside cinctans, solutes, and stylophorans.[1] Homalozoa is now recognized as a polyphyletic group of echinoderms without radial symmetry. Ctenocystoids were geographically widespread during the Middle Cambrian, with one species surviving into the Late Ordovician.

Description

Like other echinoderms, ctenocystoids had a skeleton made of stereom plates. Ctenocystoids had near bilateral symmetry, with some species exhibiting slightly asymmetric plate shapes. Like cinctans and Ctenoimbricata, most ctenocystoids had large marginal plates surounding the sides of their body, but unlike cinctans and Ctenoimbricata, which had only one row of marginal plates, most ctenocystoids had two rows of marginal plates. Courtessolea had only one row of marginal plates, like cinctans and Ctenoimbricata,[2] whereas Conollia lost the marginal plates entirely.[3] The anus of ctenocystoids was surrounded by a pyramidal periproct as in other echinoderms. It was located at the posterior end, defining a clear anterior-posterior body axis unlike other echinoderms.[4]

Classification

Relationships

Ctenocystoids are likely among the most basal stem-group echinoderms.[1] Courtessolea was probably the most basal ctenocystoid, given its anatomical similarities to Ctenoimbricata and cinctans.[2] Conollia and Jugoszovia may be closely related to each other, as both have a reduced marginal frame compared to other ctenocystoids.[3]

Genera

The following genera of ctenocystoids have been named:[5][6]

Genus Discoverers Named Age Location Notes
Conollia Domínguez Alonso 2004 Sandbian  United Kingdom The geologically youngest genus[3]
Courtessolea Domínguez Alonso 2004 Wuliuan  France
Ctenocystis Robison & Sprinkle 1969 Middle Cambrian  United States  Australia  France The first genus discovered[7]
Etoctenocystis Fatka & Kordule 1985 Middle Cambrian  Czechia
Jugoszovia Džik & Orłowski 1995 Middle Cambrian  Poland
Pembrocystis Domínguez Alonso 2004 Middle Cambrian  United Kingdom

Distribution

Ctenocystoids were widespread during the Middle Cambrian, and have been found in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Czechia, Poland, Spain, and Morocco.[6] The earliest ctenocystoids date to the beginning of Stage 5 of the Cambrian,[8] now known as the Wuliuan age.[9] Most species date to the Wuliuan and Drumian ages of the Cambrian.[3] The geologically youngest ctenocystoid, the only one known from the Ordovician, is Conollia, from the Sandbian of the United Kingdom.[3]

History

The class Ctenocystoidea was named in 1969 by Richard A. Robison and James Sprinkle.[7] It originally contained one species, Ctenocystis utahensis. The name comes from the Greek words ktenos, meaning "comb", and kystis, meaning "sac". It was originally assigned to the echinoderm subphylum Homalozoa.
