Summary

Ordovician echinoderms from Greenland include: Glyptocystites groenlandicus sp.nov. which is distinguished from other Glyptocystites by a very coarse slit spacing in its pectinirhombs (1 slit per 0.365 mm) and by its ambulacral structure; ?Macrocystella sp.; Cheirocystella sp and ?Carabocrinus sp. A variety of unidentified stem and cup plates of crinoids is described and illustrated.
