Atelostomata (oral plate pattern)
Description The two extant orders differ in the arrangement of the interambulacral plates posterior to the peristome that form the plastron: Left: Holasteroida: The elongated labrum (1) is connected to a single sternal plate (2) followed by two episternal plates. Right: Spatangoida: The narrow labrum (1) is connected to two enlarged sternal plates (2a/2b) followed by two episternal plates. The plastron carries large tubercles and strong spines specialized for locomotion within the sediment.Scale 20 mm.
