Synopsis

Explore a remarkable deep-sea star-fish and what it reveals about echinoderm anatomy. This scholarly work examines Brisinga coronata, a newly studied species from the Norwegian deep, with careful drawings, measurements, and a thorough account of its development and skeleton. The author places the species in a broader context of its genus and the science of morphology, offering clear insights into how these unusual arms, discs, and spines form and function in life.

- In-depth description of the disc and arm development, including how new arms form and integrate with the existing skeleton.
- Close look at the disc’s interior vertebrae, calcareous ring, and the interplay of spines, pedicellariae, and water-feet.
- Discussion of homology and affinity within echinoderms, and how Brisinga coronata relates to other star-fishes.
- Full context for identifying and classifying this genus, with careful observation grounded in specimen studies.

Ideal for readers of marine biology, invertebrate anatomy, and the history of tuning our understanding of deep-sea life through careful observation and comparison.
