Biology:Miocidaris

From HandWiki

Miocidaris is an extinct genus of miocidarid sea urchin that lived from the Permian to the Jurassic period.[1]

Description

The tooth structure of Miocidaris keyserlingi is practically identical to that of modern-day cidarids, while its perignathic girdle structure and the morphology of its hemipyramid likewise display close affinities with modern cidaroids.[2]
