Fossil Foilist Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 This is a Hardounia Kellumi, I think it is self explanatory why I gave it the name Keyhole echinoid. Found at the dig hole, Cretaceous, Peedee formation. Anybody have the key to fit it? lol Skylar Fossil Foilist -----)---------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 You may not know this but there actually IS an echinoid some call a ‘keyhole’ echinoid: Pygaster semisulcatus. And even keyhole sand dollars. But yours is neither and I have no key... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgehiker Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Ha..I like it. Perhaps this echinoderm has evolved into a keyless species....now has a remote opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moahunt1 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 This happens to modern Sea eggs! the hole at the top gets broken out. It may have been broken out before it fossilised.
