MikeD Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I didn't want to hijack Pool Man's post, but Solius was asking about crinoid budding. I don't have a link to any papers, but I do have some more examples of budding. I don't remember seeing budding in Kentucky. These are Pennsylvanian from Brownwood, TX.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks Mike. Though, inebriation prevents me from a more scholarly study of this phenomenon, I will investigate tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Murphy Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Mike: Crinoids, along with other echinoderms, are dioecious and do not reproduce asexually by budding. Numerous plants and lower invertebrates do reproduce by budding. Crinoids reproduce by release of eggs and sperm into the water for fertilization. The scars seen on the crinoid columnals are the attachment points of cirri used for grasping and attachment purposes. Many crinoids, especially in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, have cirri. The cirri in attached stalked crinoids (sea lilies) are used primarily for grasping while the cirri in the unattached crinoids (feather stars) are used for either attachment by grasping or locomotion. See the attached photographs from the internet for examples of cirri. Regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Solius - you're funny. At least you're not drinking Vinac in acetone, I hope. Nah, I like to sip my corn. Fine Kentucky bourbon is another hobby of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Jimmy Russel is one of my favorite distillers. I was born and raised across the river from where it is made, and have drank it for years. Though lately, I have been drinking a lot of Four Roses Single Barrel and Small Batch, Bulleitt, and Knob Creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
