Abstract

The taxonomy of the fossil species Garumnaster michaleti, G. (Duncaniaster) luppovi, and Basseaster rostratus from the Lower Paleocene of the Mangyshlak Peninsula has been emended. Based on a comparison of morphological characters and the results of statistical analysis, Duncaniaster luppovi is assigned to the genus Garumnaster. The genera Garumnaster and Basseaster are assigned to the family Garumnasteridae.
