Echinoid Home Page - English

The Echinoid website at The Natural History Museum, London. Echinoids are a major group of marine invertebrates with a long fossil record. If you know nothing about the group the obvious place to start is at the Introduction. Here you will find some basic facts about how echinoids live, feed and reproduce. Information presented here is very non-technical and is designed for the casual visitor with no biological training.

The Homalozoa - English
URL: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/echinodermata/homalozoa.html

Perhaps the strangest looking of all the echinoderms are the homalozoans. Unlike most echinoderms, which are radially symmetrical with five similar sections (as in sea-stars), the homalozoa were secondarily bilateral (as in sand dollars), or even asymmetical. The Homalozoa has only recently been thoroughly studied and examined. The current classification system recognizes two orders: Cornuta and Ankyroida (formerly known as the Mitrata or Stylophora). The Cornuta are asymmetrical and shaped like a boot; the Ankryoida were bilaterally symmetrical (had a left and right side). Altogether there are 12 families and 60 genera known.

The Helicoplacoidea - English

The Helicoplacoidea is a small group of fossil echinoderms known only from the Lower Cambrian. In life, they were shaped somwhat like a slender football or a fat cigar, and were able to extend or contract the length of their bodies. Their "skin" was covered in spirals of overlapping ossicles that functioned like armor; their "mouth" was a long groove that also spiralled around their body.

Crinoids - Sea lilies and feather stars. . . - English

Crinoids are niether abundant or familiar organisms today. However, they dominated the Paleozoic fossil record of echinoderms and shallow marine habitats until the Permo-Triassic extinction, when they suffered a near complete extinction: many Paleozoic limestones are made up largely of crinoid skeletal fragments.
