>>Dear Taxacomers
>>Can anyone put me in touch with someone who may have experience of 
>>echinoid faeces?
>>I am particularly interested in the texture and shape of that 
>>produced by Echinarachnius (the sand dollar) or other burrowing 
>>species. The reason is that a colleague has discovered some strange 
>>conical microfossils in an exposure in Malta, and the best 
>>suggestion we have so far is echinoid poo.
>>Any contacts will be much appreciated.
