A couple of weeks ago I posted my most recent find - a largish echinoid from the River Murray. For I'm posting the same specimen now that the preparation is complete.

I finished up my fossil trip a couple of days ago with a visit to a well-known road cutting near the riverside town of Mannum. There I found an unusually large echonoid for the site. It looked like a Eupatagus but was three times the length of a typical E. murrayensis from the site. After checking some papers I think it is E. collabus, the first time I've ever found the species.

The Mannum Formation is famous for containing literally millions of heart urchins (Lovenia forbesi). Here are some really crappy ones from the Mannum Formation near Murray Bridge.

“Rottnest Island has suffered a "catastrophic decline" in . Despite being sanctuary zones with the highest level of protection from human activities, we found that Radar Reef and Cape Vlamingh at Rottnest Island had suffered a catastrophic decline in biodiversity between 2007 and 2021, likely due to exposure to the warm Leeuwin Current.”

"November 7, 2022
Celebrating Irene Bernasconi

For Irene Bernasconi, the world was her oyster—or perhaps she’d say starfish. Today’s Doodle celebrates Argentina’s first echinoderm specialist, who spent more than 50 years studying sea stars and other marine creatures. On this day in 1968, she became the first Argentine woman to lead a marine biology expedition in Antarctica."
