description Lovenia woodsi Overview
Lovenia woodsi is a fossil species of irregular heart urchin in the genus Lovenia. It is known from Australian material described by Robert Etheridge in 1875, and its occurrence has been used in interpreting Miocene deposits in the Murray Valley and elsewhere in southern Australia. The species is therefore relevant to palaeontology and stratigraphic studies, rather than to descriptions of a living sea urchin.
