[SR: 3404694], Perfect Paperback, [EAN: 9781617042782], River Styx Publishing Company, River Styx Publishing Company, Book, [PU: River Styx Publishing Company], River Styx Publishing Company, A Pictorial Collection of Fossil Sea Urchins of Texas complete with scientific descriptions. All were photographed in high resolution color, with regular echinoids from the adoral, aboral, lateral ambulacral, and lateral interambulacral views. Irregular echinoids were photographed in adoral, aboral, lateral, anterior, and posterior views. In most cases, a single specimen is used to illustrate each species. One hundred and six of the specimens photographed were type specimens from the University of Texas Non-vertebrate Paleontology Lab, Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science and the National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian). Where types were unavailable, representative specimens were used from both institutions and private collections. Two specimens were contributed by the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. Four of the representative specimens are from the Akers Collection which is currently owned by Chris Garvie. Many specimens are from the Frank Crane Collection which is currently owned by his son Dr. Stephen Crane. The remaining species are from private collections. Each species is described in detail. If the original description was available, that text was included and credited. Descriptions which are protected by copyright laws or not available were not included in this publication. Instead, those species' descriptions and the new species' descriptions are the author's. CONTENTS: Dedication by Dr. Stephen L.
