wolf1 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Hi, I’ve got a sea urchin here (hight 37 mm, largest width 49 mm = 1.46 and 1.93 inch, respectively). Definitely Baltic See, quite likely western region / Germany. Might be genus Echinocorys, I suppose. Is that possible? I don’t know the difference between E. obliqua and E. scutata. Can someone help? Kind regards: wolf Apical detail view: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvestersen Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi WolfI am not an expert in echinoids, but I am pretty sure that it is a Echinocorys sp. Maybe this dutch article can help you. look at page 109 and 110 (fig J-21b, J-21c and J-22) Zuidema, G., 1999: Fossiele zee-egels van West Europa. - GEA. vol. 32(3). 73-118. http://www.geolsba.dk/pdf/Zuidema1999-Zeeegels-NW-Europa.PDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
