Abstract

Fossils from Bagh Beds of District Dhar, (M.P.) have been collected. Among them some regular echinoid fossils have been observed. Echinoids inhabited sea since late Ordovician period about 480 million years ago. They had circular profile,radial symmetry and test with tubercles. One of the collected but rare echinoids genus “Cyphosoma’’ has been recorded for the first time from the new locality. The study deals about the mode of life and the environment in which they lived
