Aphanopora Echinobrissoides
''Aphanopora echinobrissoides'' is a species of sea urchin of the family Neolampadidae. Their armour is covered with spines. It is placed in the genus ''Aphanopora'' and lives in the sea. ''Aphanopora echinobrissoides'' was first scientifically described in 1903 by de Meijere.Kroh, A. (2010). ''Apatopygus echinobrissoides'' (de Meijere, 1903). In: Kroh, A. & Mooi, R.

Echinoderm
An echinoderm () is any member of the phylum Echinodermata (). The adults are recognisable by their (usually five-point) radial symmetry, and include starfish, brittle stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers, as well as the sea lilies or "stone lilies". Adult echinoderms are found on the sea bed at every ocean depth, from the intertidal zone to the abyssal zone. The phylum contains about 7,000 living species, making it the second-largest grouping of deuterostomes, after the chordates. Echinoderms are the largest entirely marine phylum. The first definitive echinoderms appeared near the start of the Cambrian. The echinoderms are important both ecologically and geologically. Ecologically, there are few other groupings so abundant in the biotic desert of the deep sea, as well as shallower oceans. Most echinoderms are able to reproduce asexually and regenerate tissue, organs, and limbs; in some cases, they can undergo complete regeneration from a single limb. ...

Cassiduloida
Cassiduloida is an order (biology), order of sea urchins. The group was extremely diverse with many families and species during the Mesozoic, but today, only seven extant species remain. A 2019 phylogenetic systematics study by Souto et al. presented a revised classification of the cassiduloids, and hypothesised that the order probably originated in the Early Cretaceous. Description and characteristics Cassiduloids have a rounded or slightly oval appearance, and look somewhat similar to heart urchins, although they are actually more closely related to the sand dollars. They are distinguished from other sea urchins by the presence of smaller intervening areas between the main ambulacral areas on the oral surface. They have no lantern as adults, and the petaloids are poorly developed or absent. List of families and genera * family Cassidulidae (L.
