Hello, I'm seeing that a lot of these sea biscuits are found on the beaches of North Carolina due to dredging. I tried on Facebook to trade or buy some, but that did'nt work out. Had a seller on online auction site but he wouldnt send them to Europe. Is there anyone interested in selling or trading some with me? I would have mix of European echinoids for trade, for instance. Greetings Walter

From the album: My Echinoid Collection
Clypeaster scillae Weissenegg Formation Middle Miocene (16-11 Ma) Retznei Quarry, Retznei, Styria, Austria Acquired from a collector during a local trade show, September 2023 While this specimen is ever so slightly crushed, it is also unusually laterally compressed, and the aboral surface is heavily deformed, while the oral surface is mostly normal. Thus, to me it appears to be a pretty pathological specimen.-

Echinoid Eupatagus antillarium commonly called the Florida sea biscuit.... I have found many of these over the years but this one is the first one that I have ever found that may show signs of predation? What does everyone think? Thanks for you input!

These were found yesterday in Inglis, Florida at a mining facility. Our child would like to take them to school for show & tell. We are hoping to find out more information on them so that she can share with the class.

I found this fossilized sea biscuit a few years ago in Holden Beach, North Carolina. Curious what species it is, and the approximate age.

Hello, I was shell hunting today on Holden Beach and found, what I believe, is a fossil. It appears to be some type of sea biscuit(based on photos I’ve found online). It is very hard and filled with some type of compacted sediment. Any ideas what it might be and how old it is?

Rhyncholampas carolinensis are not an uncommon find in the Castle Hayne Formation of North Carolina. However, they are often badly worn, broken or heavily encrusted with limestone. This little beauty is about average size and very clean. It also has a bonus "hitchhiker" a Polychaete worm. This worm is often referred to as Polychaete species 00. Referencers: Kier, P.M. (1980) The Echinoids of the Middle Eocene Warely Hill Formation, Santee Limestone and Castle Hayne Limestone of North and South Carolina. Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology: Number 39. Pg. 33-34 plates 9 figures 9-12 and 10 figures 1-4
