For the first time an Early Kimmeridgian cyrtocrinid crinoid fauna is described. The fauna, coming from Campo al Bello, Mt. Nerone (Central Apennines, Italy), is constituted by some hundred specimens mainly pertaining to the most common Tethys families of dadocrinids (sensu Nicosia, 1991): namely phyllocrinids and eugenicrinitids; among them a new species is described as Apsidocrinus nicosiai. A secondary component made by few specimens of hoyacrinids and sclerocrinids is also present.
