Echinoids have been living in the ocean for 450 million years, since the Late Ordovician period, which is 220 million years before the appearance of dinosaurs. These amazing creatures were buried in sediment and preserved as fossils when the sediment hardened into rock. Today, we can still see their living descendants in the form of sea urchins found in many shallow coastal waters. By studying living sea urchins and comparing them to fossilized echinoids, we can gain insight into their ancient way of life.
