Top Trilo Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Did you buy this? Did you find it? If its in a store it probably says what species it is. Please give us as much information as you can on the specimen Link to post Share on other sites
kathrynjenine Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 They're in the shop I work at, we were only told echinoids, we are wanting to find out the species, we think is tetragramma, but we don't have an idea where they're from Link to post Share on other sites
daves64 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 If they got them in bulk, they could be from Morocco. Some sites offer them by the kilogram. Just offering a suggestion on possible origin. Link to post Share on other sites
Susano Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) It can be extremely difficult to identify organisms with as much history and biodiversity as these creatures with all the correct information, let alone with very little. My advice would be to purchase specimens that have a date and have the area where they were collected (the more specific the better) if you want to get better IDs. Not to say there's not someone with a massive amount of experience that could assist in an ID for this, but that critical information makes the process much smoother. Nonetheless, even without an ID you can appreciate its beauty, better luck next time if it doesn't work out. Edited October 10, 2020 by Susano Link to post Share on other sites

Ludwigia Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Have you googled 'Tetragramma+Morocco' ? Looks like it could fit, but in the end it's still just guesswork of which you should inform your customers. Link to post Share on other sites
