Uncle Siphuncle Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Names have been revised. Google search Phymosoma texanum, Tetragramma taffi, Leptosalenia mexicana, and Coenholectypus planatus. 4 Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils."

JohnJ Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Three things might help you for starters: get Finsley's book, check echinoids against The Echinoid Directory, and do searches of The Forum using the names Dan gave you above. 2 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoWilliam Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Names have been revised. Google search Phymosoma texanum, Tetragramma taffi, Leptosalenia mexicana, and Coenholectypus planatus. Have all the salenia's changed name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 No. The distinction is based on uniserial versus biserial pore pairs in the ambulacra. In other words, it is a detail on the micro level that slipped past everyone for several years. I think Andrew Smith called it out. S. texana is now L. texana, and a few others in Texas have been reassigned as well. We also have Hyposalenia in Texas, distinguished by a different radial alignment of periproct and ambs. I realize that photos would be hugely helpful, but other finds have pushed echinoids off my phone. 2 Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils."

PaleoWilliam Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'm pretty sure I can find pictures with the new names. Thanks for the help. I will have to change my S. texana to L. texana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill's book has the latest greatest. (His is in color and high definition!!) There others available but with all the changes and re-assignments going in many publications, such as Houston Gem and Mineral Society's book on Texas Echinoids, they become obsolete quickly. William we met at the Fossilmania show last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Thompson Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I am glad you are enjoying the book Fossil Echinoids of Texas - A Monograph of Fossil Sea Urchins. 46 New Species and 1 new Genus. I collected another new Species with Dr. Stephen Crane last Saturday - Tiaromma Pomel, 1883. It is from the Walnut Formation. Specimens measure 7 mm up to 13 mm.
