From the album: My Echinoid Collection
Echinolampas sp. Ternopil Beds, East European Platform(?) Middle Miocene (16-11 Ma) Unknown Oblast, Ukraine Acquired from online, August 23 My source on Ukrainian echinoids had no info on this specimen other than it seemingly came from the Ternopil Beds, and I have not found any reliable source of information online as to what species this could be. The only thing I could find was a mention of a different undescribed specimen of Echinolampas; however, it was very rounded (not unlike the Oligocene Echinolampas aldrichi from North Carolina), and not laterally compressed and elongated like this one. I wonder if this is a different undescribed species from that one. It measures around 6.6 cm (2.6 inches) long, and around 4.4 cm (1.725 inches) wide. The oral surface is depressed slightly inwards towards the peristome. It seems that the oral surface was prepared with vinegar due to a faint smell, although fortunately it doesn't seem to have suffered much acidic damage.-
