Glen Rose Echinoid Help Needed


Evans

Recommended Posts

Out scouting around this past weekend in the upper Glen Rose and I found a new site rich in Salenia and Macraster specimens not to mention so many algal balls (Porocystis globularis) that it looked like someone spilled a five gallon can of marbles all over the ground. I also found what I think to be my first Coenholectypus specimen, but I need some help with the exact ID.

Thanks,

Brian

Excellent find!

It is so hard to find one in that kind of shape...

few and far between...

Were the fruiting bodies showing a lot of detail?

Coenholectypus planatus (Roemer) would be my feeble thought.

I second Tracer's ID. Very nice specimen! Post some of your salenia's. I would love to see them.

I think Tracer is on the chili. That is one of the bigger and better Kgr specimens I've seen.

Hey Tracer, thanks for the quick ID. Your feeble thoughts are always greatly appreciated.

Hi Roz,

No, the fruiting bodies showed very little detail and I was hard pressed to find a good, complete spherical body. Next time I go out I'll get pic of the collecting surface area.

This spot shows no sign of any other collecting taking place and if we ever get rain around San Antonio it should weather very nicely. I ran out of daylight this past weekend and have only covered about a third of the exposure.
