From the album: Texas Santonian stage (Cretaceous)
Phymosoma hilli Santonian Texas Note: These are likely washed out of the Dessau member of the Austin chalk, where there is another Phymosomatid possible - P. bybeei. I cannot get hold of the original description of P. bybeei, so for now comparing them to other P. hilli found in the area seems most reasonable. -

It has been a while since I did an Echies of Texas post...too long!! But it's been an echinoid dry spell here for me.....I've found some lovely stuff, but just not anything NEW to me! I was given a couple of Echies that were new to me but I didn't TECHNICALLY find them, so they don't really count (for me...i'm particular that way!) . I will post pics of them because I am happy to have them in my collection regardless!! BUT, back to my personal urchin drought. . It's getting hot in Texas (Summertime...duh). But I still like to get out occasionally. I went a little further afield last week (only taking short day trips during this Covid Time) than my usual hunting grounds and found a new spot of Glen Rose Formation and found....AN URCHIN NEST! I've heard about these...a clump of multiple echies in one spot. I was too excited about my find and forgot to take pictures but there were five phymosomas in one spot...big ones too! And then a little further along....my first Tetragramma from the Glen Rose Formation! YAY! Drought broken! And, when it rains it pours. A few days later at another Glen Rose spot...i found more Tetras. And....I am pretty sure....a Polydiadema! So, needless to say, my Echie Game is back on. There are quite a few specific urchins that are still eluding me and not for lack of trying! I have been to the only spots I know of that I know they have been found, but alas. So the search continues! Another recent find, not new to me, but a really nicely preserved Phymosoma : (from a site just up the road from the Echie "nest") My first Tetragramma from the Glen Rose: Tetragramma tenerum .....i think. The Echinoid "nest" (plus the nice phymo from the other site up the road) My biggest Phymosoma to date....2 1/4 inches Another Tetragramma from the Glen Rose: And I THNK....a Polydiadema! Plus a nice little Heteraster with good detail Plus - My "acquisitions" to my collection thanks to my Fossil Friend John (who so kindly gave them to me!) An amazing Paracidarid (Glen Rose Formation) And a Globator parryi bottom of Globator:

From the album: MY FOSSIL Collection - Dpaul7
Sea Urchin Fossil - PHYMOSOMA Morocco Middle Jurassic (about 170 Million Years Ago) Phymosoma is an extinct genus of echinoids that lived from the Cretaceous to the Eocene. Sea Urchins are a group of marine invertebrates that today can be found in almost every major marine habitat from the poles to the equator and from the intertidal zone to depths of more than 5,000 metres. There are around 800 extant species and the group has a long and detailed fossil record stretching back about 450 million years ago to the Late Ordovician Period. Commonly called "Sea Biscuits" of Sea Urchins Echinoid is Latin for "pickle". When alive these animals were covered with movable spines which gave protection and provided locomotion. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Echinodermata Class: Echinoidea Order: Phymosomatoida Family: Phymosomatidae Genus: Phymosoma-
