Delocrinus missouriensis was named in 1890, then later had its genus changed from Delocrinus to Eperisocrinus in 1977, with missouriensis as the type species. It was added as the state fossil in 1989 as "Delocrinus missouriensis"[1], though. I added the missing citation, but felt I should make a note so others could decide if it belongs here. GBIF lists this species under BOTH names (referring to it as a "homotypic synonym").[2] The source I cited in the article (the Missouri Secretary of State website) lists it the way I did in the article as "formerly Delocrinus missouriensis" despite Missouri state statute (reference 1 here) having it officially listed as Delocrinus. 168.166.55.11 (talk) 20:03, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
