| Abstract: |
Thirty echinoid species (15 regular and 15 irregular), belonging to 20 genera, are described from the Upper Cretaceous successions exposed at the Abu Darag (Northern Galala), Saint Paul, and Wadi El Dakhl sections (Southern Galala). Two new species are established : Heterosalenia dakhlensis and Phymosoma kassabi. Both are from the Coniacian of Wadi El Dakhl. The rank of the subspecies Mecaster heberti (Coquand) turonensis (Fourtau) is raised to the species level. The apical disc of the genus Pedinopsis Cotteau, 1863 is illustrated for the first time. |
