newton1 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I found this fossil sea urchin in a creek in Benbrook, Texas this past Sunday. Its approx 53mm long and 49mm wide at its widest part. Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I would go with Hemiaster also.

newton1 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks Dan and Herb! I had thought of hemiaster whitei but I have never found one this large before and I wasn't sure. Thanks for the help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 That is pretty outsized for H. whitei. Not sure I've found other Hemi's from the Kgd, but there may be some. Grüße, Daniel A.
