Pourtalesiidae
The pourtalesiids (Pourtalesiidae) are a family of irregular sea urchins that live in the deep sea. They are secondarily bilateral-symmetrical and like other representatives of the taxon Holasteroida they lack the lantern of Aristotle, which is typical for many other sea urchins. The genus '' Pourtalesia'' was named after Louis-François de Pourtalès who first collected these animals while dredging at a depth of 600 m. The family is known already from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian The Maastrichtian () is, in the ICS geologic timescale, the latest age (uppermost stage) of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or Upper Cretaceous Series, the Cretaceous Period or System, and of the Mesozoic Era or Erathem. It spanned the interval ...) and is distributed worldwide. Species and Genera Currently, there are 10 genera with 28 extant and 5 extinct species described. * genus '' Ceratophysa'' Pomel, 1883 ** '' Ceratophysa ceratopyga'' ( A. Agassiz, 1879) ** '' Ceratophysa rosea'' ...

Pourtalesia Miranda
''Pourtalesia miranda'', commonly known as the wonderful sea urchin, is a species of sea urchin in the family Pourtalesiidae. It is found at abyssal depths in the Atlantic Ocean. Description The thin-shelled test is bottle-shaped, more than twice as long as it is wide, and with a marked rostrum at the posterior end. At the anterior end, the aboral ambulacrum is sunk, forming a funnel-like, forward-facing, nearly circular opening that leads to the peristome. The aboral surface has scattered low tubercles. ''Pourtalesia miranda'' differs from the otherwise similar '' Helgocystis'' in having the posterior ambulacral plate separate from the others. Adults are about long. The post-larval ''Pourtalesia miranda'' is at first radially symmetric, but as it grows, it becomes increasingly bilaterally symmetric. Growth is performed in two ways, by the creation of new plates at the apical end, and by the enlargement of existing plates by accretion around their margins. It is in the combina ...
