Catalog of Specimens in the Type Collection of the Department of Geology, California Academy of Sciences: Echinodermata This is a reference catalog of the primary and secondary echinoderm types held by the California Academy of Sciences. It documents type specimens and their classification, including holotypes, paratypes, syntypes, and related categories, with notes on locality and publication data.

This edition is the second part of the catalog, following the Cephalopoda volume published earlier. It covers a wide range of genera and species, organizing entries alphabetically by species-group name and presenting each reference in a standardized format. You’ll find how type status is assigned and what each designation means, along with occasional editorial comments.

What you’ll experience

• Structured entries that pair species names with type designations and catalog numbers.


• Guidance on type categories (holotype, paratype, syntype, lectotype, neotype, and more).


• Locality details and age ranges to place specimens in geological context.


• Editorial notes clarifying terminology and historical naming conventions.

Ideal for readers of paleontology catalogs, museum reference volumes, and researchers tracing echinoderm type material within historical collections. The book serves as a precise, reference-ready resource for anyone needing to verify or study echinoderm type specimens in this collection.
