G. M. Ehlers and J. B. Leighly Lipsanocystis traversensis, a new cystid from the Devonian of Michigan (1922)

In the Museum of Geology of the University of Michigan there was recently found a cystid with a label, in Dr. Carl Rominger's handwriting, bearing the name Lepadocrinus hamiltonensis Rominger, and indicating that the specimen was collected at Partridge Point, Thunder Bay, Michigan. This cystid is probably the one that Rominger had in mind [1] when he recorded the occurrence of the genus Lepadocrinus along with several genera and species of corals, echinoderms, bryozoa, brachiopods, and trilobites in the rocks of Partridge Point, which he regarded as belonging to the Hamilton group.
