Echinoid assemblages as a tool for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction – an example from the Early Miocene of Egypt
2003
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology
A rich Lower Miocene echinoid fauna has been investigated from Gebel Gharra, NW of Suez, Egypt. The ca 140 m long section consists of a siliciclastic lower part and a carbonate-dominated upper part. This corresponds to a general transgression/regression cycle. In all, 27 different echinoid taxa were recognised. The level of taxonomic identification varies depending on test completeness and preservation of specific morphological characters. The palaeoecology of the echinoids was inferred using a
