Echinoid Species #1:Othophus morganensis
Othophus morganensis is an echinoid species dating back to the Middle Miocene, approximately 15 million years ago. This specimen was unearthed in the Blanchetown Riverlands of South Australia, an area recognized for its rich Miocene fossil record. The fossil is from the Morgan Group, specifically the Glenforslan Formation, a geological formation known for preserving a wide array of marine life from this period. During the Middle Miocene, this region was part of a shallow sea, providing an ideal environment for marine organisms like Othophus morganensis to thrive. The specimen measures 3.6 x 2.7 x 1.9 cm and is a well-preserved representation of the species. Its test, or external shell, exhibits the characteristic features of Othophus morganensis, such as the distinct pattern of its ambulacral plates. These features not only help in identifying the species but also offer insights into its ecological role and adaptations in the Miocene marine environment. The specimen’s preservation allows for detailed study, contributing to our understanding of echinoid morphology and evolution during this period. Described by Phillip in 1869, Othophus morganensis has since become an important species for paleontologists studying the marine ecosystems of the Miocene. This specimen, with its well-preserved features, provides a valuable glimpse into the biodiversity of the ancient seas that once covered South Australia. By studying such fossils, scientists can reconstruct the ancient environments and gain a better understanding of the climatic and ecological conditions that shaped the region millions of years ago.The term echinoid refers to animals in the Class Echinoidea. This Class contains some familiar marine creatures – sea urchins and sand dollars, along with heart urchins. These creatures are echinoderms, so they are related to Sea Stars (starfish) and sea cucumbers.Echinoids are supported by a rigid skeleton called a “test,” which is made up of interlocking plates of a calcium carbonate material called stereom. Echinoids have a mouth (usually located on the animal’s bottom side) and an anus (usually located on the organism’s top side). They also may have spines and water-filled tube feet for locomotion.Echinoids may be round, like a sea urchin; oval- or heart-shaped, like a heart urchin; or flattened, like a sand dollar. Although sand dollars are often thought of as white, when they are alive they are covered in spines that may be purple, brown or tan in color Please Note: Due to lighting, monitor colours, and angles, the pictures may look different ( lighter or darker) than the actual item(s).If you like this, please take a look at my other listings, we are always happy to combine orders, and if you have any questions or queries feel free to message us anytime.
