Abstract

A specimen of the Carboniferous crinoid species Rhabdocrinus scotocarbonarius (Wright) is recorded from an outcrop near Barruelo de Santullan, Palencia Province, N Spain. This represents only the sixth crinoid species to be recorded from the pre-Westphalian Carboniferous rocks of Spain. The specimen is described and comparisons made with other material allocated to Rhabdocrinus including Rhabdocrinus vatagini Arendt.
