Animal
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia.
Asia
Asia is the largest continent in the world by both land area and population.
Crinoid
Crinoids are marine invertebrates that make up the class Crinoidea.
Crinozoa
Crinozoa is a subphylum of mostly sessile echinoderms, of which the crinoids, or sea lilies and feather stars, are the only extant members.
Echinoderm
An echinoderm is any deuterostomal animal of the phylum Echinodermata, which includes starfish, brittle stars, sea urchins, sand dollars and sea cucumbers, as well as the sessile sea lilies or "stone lilies".
See Apiocrinites and Echinoderm
Europe
Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Extinction
Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.
See Apiocrinites and Extinction
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Israel
Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in the Southern Levant, West Asia.
Jurassic
The Jurassic is a geologic period and stratigraphic system that spanned from the end of the Triassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Cretaceous Period, approximately Mya.
Late Jurassic
The Late Jurassic is the third epoch of the Jurassic Period, and it spans the geologic time from 161.5 ± 1.0 to 145.0 ± 0.8 million years ago (Ma), which is preserved in Upper Jurassic strata.

Matmor Formation
The Matmor Formation is a geologic formation of up to thick, that is exposed in Hamakhtesh Hagadol in southern Israel.
See Apiocrinites and Matmor Formation
Middle Jurassic
The Middle Jurassic is the second epoch of the Jurassic Period.
See Apiocrinites and Middle Jurassic
Millericrinida
Millericrinida is an order of articulate crinoids that originated in the Anisian (Middle Triassic). Apiocrinites and Millericrinida are Crinoidea stubs.

Paleobiology Database
The Paleobiology Database is an online resource for information on the distribution and classification of fossil animals, plants, and microorganisms.

Species
A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.
