Summary

Echinoderm plates from the Protolenus Limestone are recognised as belonging to three groups; plates with folded surfaces, plates with bevelled edges and a third group. They are not comparable with other Lower Cambrian echinoderms and may be derived from a genus or genera of eocrinoid which is not known from complete specimens.
