Two crinoid specimens of genus Tropiometra were collected from Busan and Tongyeong by SCUBA diving on August 2010 and October 2011, respectively. The specimens were identified as Tropiometra macrodiscus (Hara, 1895), which belongs to the family Tropiometridae of superfamily Tropiometroidea. The genus Tropiometra AH Clark, 1907 comprises four species worldwide at present, and it has not been reported in Korea. Tropiometra macrodiscus was first described by Hara (1895) in Japan. It is difficult to distinguish T. macrodiscus from T. afra (Hartlaub, 1890), there has been confusion with examination of their phylogenetic positions in crinoid morphological classification. Despite this, T. macrodiscus can be distinguished from T. afra based on longer arms, stouter whole-body parts, magnificently larger numbers of cirrus, and numerous segments. The morphological characteristics of T. macrodiscus collected in Korea have been described, and DNA barcode region representing cytochrome c oxidase subunit I was obtained for its molecular phylogenetic analysis.

Three new species of Collocheres are described as associates of crinoid and ophiuroid echinoderms from Cheju Island, Korea: Collocheres brevipes n. sp. from the crinoids Comanthus solaster A. H. Clark and Decametra tigrina (A. H. Clark); C. solidus n. sp. from two species of the crinoids Comanthus solaster and Comanthus japonicus (Muller) and one species of ophiuroid-Ophiomastax mixta (Lutken); and C. tamladus n. sp. from the crinoid Catoptometra rubroflava (A. H. Clack). The three species are distinguished from one another and other congeners by the body size, dimension of caudal ramus and free segment of leg 5, and shape and ornamentation of urosome.

The crinoid specimens of the genus Anneissia were collected from Nokdong, Korea Strait, and Moseulpo, Jeju Island. The specimens were identified as Anneissia pinguis (A.H. Clark, 1909), which belongs to the family Comatulidae of the order Comatulida. Anneissia pinguis was first described by A.H. Clark in 1909 around southern Japan. This species can be distinguished from other Anneissia species by a longish and stout cirrus, much fewer arms, and short distal cirrus segments. The morphological features of Korean specimens are as follows: large disk (20-35 mm), 28-36 segments and 32-43 mm length cirrus, division series in all 4 (3+4), very stout and strong distal pinnule with 18-19 comb and 40 arms. In Korea fauna, only three species of genus Anneissia were recorded: A. intermedia, A. japonica, and A. solaster. In this study, we provide the morphological description and phylogenetic analysis based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I.

Thaumatometra tenuis (A. H. Clark, 1907), an unstalked crinoid that lives on the muddy bottoms of the deep sea, is re-described with images in this study. This species distributes in the cold water zone of the northwestern Pacific and had been reported at the end of 1800s from South Korea but had not been found thereafter. So we thought that this species was no longer living in Korea. In March 2019, a large number of T. tenuis were found near the Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, Korea. So the presence of T. tenuis in Korea is reconfirmed. This species, markedly fragile overall, is characterized by long segments of cirri and pinnules, and P₁ composed of 35 segments.

The goal of this study is to elucidate the fusulinid biostratigraphy of the Carboniferous limestones distributed in the Gangdong area of Samcheok coalfield, Korea. The Carboniferous strata of the study area mainly comprise alternaton of dark gray shale, dark gray and reddish sandstone, and gray limestone. The limestones consist mainly of wackestonepackstone containing various fossil fragments such as crinoid, coral, brachiopod, foraminifera, fusulinid, and bryozoa; this observation thus suggests that the study site was the shallow marine environments. A tital of 12 species belonging to 5 genera of fusulinids are identified from the limestones of the Gangdong geologic section: Ozawainella turgida Sheng, Ozawainella sp. A, Ozawainella magna Sheng, Pseudostaffella antiqua (Dutkevich), Pseudostaffella paracompressa Safonova, Pseudostaffella kimi Cheong, Pseudostaffella sp., Beedeina lanceolata (Lee and Chen), Beedeina samarica (Rauser-Chernoussova), Beedeina sp. A, Neostaffella sphaeroidea cuboides Rauser-Chernoussova, and Hanostaffella hanensis Cheong. Such fusulinids species were reported from the lower part of the Geumcheon Formation in Samcheok coalfield and the middle Moscovian stage in Eurasia. On the basis of the fusulinid biostratigraphic correlation of the Gangdong geologic sections (A) to (C), the limestone should be overlapped by faults and folds. Moreover the stratigraphic thickness of the limestone is thinner than the thickness of the limestone outcrop of the Gangdong geologic section. Therefore, the stratigraphic sequence of the Gangdong geologic section is represented as the Gangdong geologic section (A).

강원도 태백 일대에 분포하는 중기 석탄기의 만항층과 금천층은 주로 셰일, 사암 및 석회암으로 구성되며, 이 층들의 석회암에서 코노돈트, 방추충, 해백합, 완족류, 산호, 태선동물, 개형충 등이 풍부하게 산출된다. 이 연구는 연구 지역의 만항층과 금천충의 석회암 암상을 조사하고 이들 석회암에서 산출되는 코노돈트의 종류와 수를 조사하여 코노돈트의 고생태를밝혔다. 또한, 만항층과 금천층에서 산출되는 여러 종류의 화석을 바탕으로 이들의 퇴적환경을 구명하였다. 연구 지역에 분포하는 만항층과 금천층의 석회암은 해백합과 여러 종류의 생물 파편을 많이 포함한 와케스톤(wackestone)과 팩스톤(packstone)으로 구성된다. 특히, 금천층 일부 석회암 내에서는 따뜻한 천해환경을 지시하는 Chaetetes산호화석이 발견된다. 연구 지역의 석탄계에서 발견된 코노돈트는 6속 12종이며, 이들 코노돈트는 대부분 생물 파편을 많이 포함한 팩스톤이나 와케스톤에서 많이 산출된다. 만항층 석회암에서는 Neognathodus bothrops, N. medexultimus, Hindeodus minutus, Diplognathodus coloradoensis, D. edentulus, Idiognathodus delicatus, Streptognathodus elegantulus, S. sp. 등이 산출되며, 금천층의 석회암에서는 Neognathodus medexultimus, N. roundyi, N. dilatus, Gondolella bella, Diplognathodus coloradoensis, D. edentulus, Hindeodus minutus, Idiognathodus delicatus, and Streptognathodus elegantulus 등의 코노돈트가 산출된다. 이들 코노돈트 중 Hindeodus minutus, Diplognathodus coloradoensis, D. edentulus, 등은 얕은 바다에서 생성된 석회암에서 산출되는 종들이다. 따라서 연구 지역의 만항층과 금천층 석회암의 암상과 이들 석회암에서 산출되는 코노돈트는 이들 석회암이 해수의 순환이 좋은 얕은 바다에서 퇴적되었음을 지시한다.
