Abstract
The morphology and the mode of life of species of the genusMeekella from the Karawanken is described. All species with high conical pedicle valve and very high interarea were attached by the beak either to the remains of organisms or to the solid sea floor. The smallMeekella depressa seems to have been unattached.Meekella crinicapiens was attached to a crinoid column with its transversal axis parallel to the long axis of the column.
