The member has yielded a rich echinoid fauna and 21 species of Echinoid belonging to 14 genera are recognized and described. The Kabir Kuh section yielded two regular echinoid taxa: Salenia nutrix and Goniopygus superbus, one holectypoid taxa: Coptodiscus noemiae, two conulid taxa: Conulus douvillei and Globator bleicheri, six cassiduloid taxa: Parapygus longior, Parapygus declivis, Parapygus inflatus, Parapygus vassilini, Vologesia tataosi and Pygurostoma morgani, one holasteroid species: Hemipneustes persicus and nine spatangoid taxa: Iraniaster douvillei, I. morgani, I. nodulosus, Hemiaster noemiae, Hemiaster opimus, Mecaster kanepanensis, Mecaster longus, Proraster morgani and Epiaster lamberti. The taxon association indicates a Campanian age. Some of the taxa are known from the similar Campanian age in Saudi Arabia such as: Coptodiscus noemiae. Some specimens are reported also from Campanian deposits of Afghanistan such as: Hemiaster noemiae, H. opimus and Parapygus vassilini. Globator bleicheri and Salenia nutrix are recorded from Maastrichtian deposits of UAE and Oman. Keywords: Campanian, Echinoid, Kabir Kuh, Seymareh member, Southwest Iran.

Detailed macro- and microscopic analysis of spatangoid echinoid, Heteraster renngarteni Poretzkaja showed a remarkable variation in morphology and alternation of short and long pores in the frontal ambu- lacrum. The differentiation of pores in the frontal ambulacrum has been interpreted as an adaptive strategy for survival in a shallow shelf environment whereas, variation in morphology appears to be influenced mainly by grain size of the substrate.

  • Some Holothurian Sclerites from the Corallian Group of North Dorset
    Read at the Annual Conference of the Ussher Society, 1992. SOME HOLOTHURIAN SCLERITES FROM THE CORALLIAN GROUP OF NORTH DORSET A. S. HENDERSON, A. D. TALWAR AND M. B. HART Henderson, A. S., Talwar, A. D. and Hart, M. B. 1992. Some Holothurian sclerites from the Corallian Group of north Dorset. Proceedings of the Ussher Society, 8, 11-14. Borehole samples of Corallian sediments from East Stour, north Dorset were examined for their microfossil content. Although the main emphasis of the research was concerned with foraminifera, significant numbers of small calcareous platelets of holothuroid echinoderms or Sea Cucumbers were observed. These are known as sclerites and various forms are illustrated and described. They are the first to be recorded from the Corallian Group of this area. A. S. Henderson, A. D. Talwar and Malcolm B. Hart, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Plymouth, Drake Circus, Plymouth PL4 8AA INTRODUCTION The mid-Upper Jurassic succession (Oxford Clay, Corallian and Figure 1: Corallian succession in Kimmeridge Clay) is poorly exposed in north Dorset and south Somerset. East Stour borehole, showing location of The British Geological Survey has recently remapped this area and samples studied (Modified after Bristow drilled three boreholes to augment the limited surface outcrops 1989). (Bristow, 1989, 1990; Freshney, 1990). One of these holes [ST 8013 2297], at East Stour, north Dorset penetrates most of the Corallian from the Clavellata Beds through to the Hazelbury Bryan Formation. Samples from this borehole have been examined for microfauna, as part of a long- term project. The primary aim of this research is to develop a viable biozonation of the Upper Jurassic succession for the Wessex Basin using microfossils, which when compared with the standard ammonite zonation, will be developed into a fully integrated stratigraphy.

  • Early Cretaceous Toxasterid Echinoid Heteraster from the High Zagros Basin, South of Iran
    Carnets Geol. 16 (26) Early Cretaceous Toxasterid Echinoid Heteraster from the high Zagros basin, south of Iran Mazaher YAVARI 1, 2 Mehdi YAZDI 1, 3 Hormoz GAHALAVAND 4 Hossein KAMYABI SHADAN 4 Mohammad Hossein ADABI 5 Loïc VILLIER 6 Abstract: Two species of spatangoid echinoid belonging to Heteraster ORBIGNY, 1853, are described from Lower Cretaceous deposits (Gadvan and Dariyan formations) at the Kuh-e Gadvan and Banesh sections situated in Zagros Mountains, south of Iran. Heteraster couloni (AGASSIZ, 1839) is confirmed in the Barremian and Heteraster delgadoi (LORIOL, 1884) in the late Aptian-Albian of Iran. The occur- rences of Heteraster and other spatangoid echinoids in Iran show a clear distinction between assembla- ges from the southern and northern margins of the Tethys during the Early Cretaceous. Key-words: • Spatangoida; • Toxasteridae; • Heteraster; • Dariyan Formation; • Gadvan Formation; • Zagros; • systematics.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Boczarowski A. 2012. Palaeoenvironmental interpretation of echinoderm assemblages from Bathonian ore-bear- ing clays at Gnaszyn (Kraków-Silesia Homocline, Poland). Acta Geologica Polonica, 62 (3), 351–366. Warszawa. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the variability of echinoderm assemblages from Bathonian ore-bearing clays from Gnaszyn. Remains of Crinoidea, Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea, and Holothuroidea have been studied from 38 rock samples. The most common echinoderms represented are the crinoids Balanocri- nus berchteni and Chariocrinus andreae and a few species of the holothurian genera Priscopedatus, Calclamna, Staurocaudina, Eocaudina, Achistrum, Theelia and Hemisphaeranthos. The echinoderms from Gnaszyn show var- ious life strategies: benthic or epibenthic forms, sessile sestonophages (Crinoidea), motile macrophages (Asteroidea) and detritivores (Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea), infaunal and epifaunal detritus feeders, sediment feeders or rake-feeders (Holothuroidea). Their presence suggests well oxygenated and presumably relatively cold bottom marine waters. The parts of the Gnaszyn section around concretion horizons and characterized by the ubiquitous occurrence of the holothurian Theelia and echinoids were deposited during phases of optimal living conditions with sufficient influx of plant detritus and good oxygenation of the sea bottom. These parts commonly host echin- oderm associations dominated by crinoid remains, which occasionally are still articulated (or disarticulated but re- maining intact) – this points to a quiet environment with normal oxygenation of the bottom waters but anaerobic/dysaerobic conditions in the sediment.

  • Growth and Reproductive Biology of the Sea Star Astropecten Aranciacus
    Baeta et al. Helgol Mar Res _#####################_ DOI 10.1186/s10152-016-0453-z Helgoland Marine Research ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Growth and reproductive biology of the sea star Astropecten aranciacus (Echinodermata, Asteroidea) on the continental shelf of the Catalan Sea (northwestern Mediterranean) Marc Baeta1,2*, Eve Galimany1,3 and Montserrat Ramón1,3 Abstract The growth and reproductive biology of the sea star Astropecten aranciacus was investigated on the continental shelf of the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. Sea stars were captured monthly in two bathymetric ranges (5–30 and 50–150 m) between November 2009 and October 2012. Bathymetric segregation by size in A. aranciacus was detected: small individuals inhabit shallow areas (5–30 m), while large individuals inhabit deeper areas of the conti‑ nental shelf (50–150 m). Recruitment was recorded twice nearshore but no recruitment was detected offshore during the whole study period. Three cohorts were identified in each bathymetric range and growth rates were estimated. A. aranciacus population exhibited a seasonal growth pattern, being higher from June to October in the nearshore cohorts and from February to October in the offshore ones. Histology and organ indices revealed that spawning likely started in March, coinciding with the spring phytoplankton bloom and the increase in sea water temperature, and extended until June–July. Ratio between males and females was approximately 1:1 throughout the year and in both bathymetrical ranges. The size at first maturity (R50 %) was estimated to be R 112 mm. A. aranciacus did not show an inverse relationship between gonad index and pyloric caeca index. = Keywords: Asteroidea, Starfish, Mediterranean and echinoderm Background Astropecten (Fam.

The Museum of Zoology, Universidad de Costa Rica (MZUCR) was founded in 1966 and houses the most complete collection of vertebrates and invertebrates in Costa Rica. The MZUCR currently has 24 collections containing more than five million specimens, and more than 13 000 species. The earliest collections date back to 1960 and include fishes, reptiles, amphibians, polychaetes, crustaceans and echinoderms. For the latter group, the MZUCR has a total of 157 species, in 1 173 lots and 4 316 specimens. These 157 species represent 54% of the total species of echino- derms from Costa Rica.
