The earliest homoiosteles are attached by a holdfast, at least in juvenile stages, and this fixation may have⟳ imprinted some morphological features on steles of vagile genera. Earliest homoiosteles share⟳ significant characters with coeval species of the eocrinoid Gogia and it serves as outgroup.”
