In this section you will find a small catalog of echinoids which have been found in the
upper part of the Maastrichtian in the area around Maastricht. This city gave it's name to the "Maastrichtian" and is therefor a "type locality".
This site is situated in the quarry of the ENCI, south of Maastricht.
These echinoids are collected by numerous people without there help there would have been nothing to show for on these pages.
Special thanks go out to
Dr. J. Jagt, Curator of the Natural History Museum in Maastricht, who gave me kind permission to use the pictures from his
thesis: "Late Cretaceous-Early Palaeogene echinoderms and the K/T boundary in the southeast Netherlands and northeast Belgium, Scripta Geologica 121, Part 4 Echinoids, 2000.
A special paper issued by Naturalis, the National Museum of Natural History in the Netherlands.
Also thanks to Professor S. K. Donovan, Curator Mesozoic invertebrates of the Natural History Museum Naturalis in Leiden, the Netherlands,

echinoids from the Cretaceous and Tertiairy of the South of the Netherlands and surrounding areas.
