Miocene echinoids 1 (Boccone 1674)


Miocene echinoids from Sicily and Malta (after Boccone 1674, p.296, top)


  
Paolo Boccone (1633-1704), primarily known as a botanist, also  joined artist-naturalist Agostino Scilla recording marine fossils in Sicily and Malta.  

Some of these findings, such as these drawings of Miocene echinoids, including "sand dollar" fossils, were published in 1674 in a revised edition of Boccone's Recherches et observations naturelles.
