Clypeus mulleri is a well-known echinoid species from the Middle Jurassic and is part of the:

This echinoid lived during the Bajocian Stage of the Middle Jurassic Period, around 170–168 million years ago. The Inferior Oolite represents shallow marine environments, including oolitic and bioclastic limestones deposited in a warm, tropical sea.

Fossils from the oolite beds of Wiltshire are prized for their fine preservation and historical importance, with Clypeus mulleri being among the most characteristic species.

Morphological Features:

  • Large, rounded disc-shaped test with a slight central elevation
  • Petaloid ambulacra forming a five-petaled pattern on the upper surface
  • Fine radial symmetry with a smooth or lightly ornamented surface
  • Central peristome (mouth area) on the underside, typical of regular echinoids

These echinoids likely lived on or slightly buried in the sea floor, using tube feet for feeding and respiration.

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
