Echinometra mathei : urchin hunch

[Bernard THOMASSIN]

Dear,

Few years ago I published a paper to show that Echiometra miocenica 
(a foosil sea-urchin from Miocen carbonate layers) was the same as 
the modern Echinometra mathaei the most common sea-urchin of the 
Indo-Pacific coasts.
Do demonstrate this analogie we made a biometrical study (largest 
diameter bversus hight) of various population of Echinometra mathei.

Are you interested by the paper. Title is :

- NEGRETTI B., PHILIPPE M., SOUDET H.J., THOMASSIN B.A., OGGIANO G., 
1990. Echinometra miocenica Loriol, échinide miocène, synonyme 
d'Echinometra mathaei (Blainville), actuel : biogéographie et 
paléoécologie. Geobios, 23 (4) : 445-459.

Good luck.
Scheers.
