Nimravis Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I am hoping that someone can ID these echinoids for me. I do not remember where I got them from and I do not know the location that they were found, but I am thinking Texas. This first group of three I believe that they might be Phymosoma sp. , but I am not sure. Her is the other one that I am hoping for an ID on. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The first photo, especially the specimen on the left (the more weathered one with lots of matrix still attached), remind me of some specimens from Morocco you sent to me some time ago. You got them in an auction at a fossil fair as I recall. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am correct, these are a lot larger, the ones I got from the auction were from Morocco and a lot smaller. I picked up several hundred at that time for about $30-$50 if I remember.
