Animals of the Clypeaster genus are more commonly referred to as "sea biscuits” or “cake urchins.” The genus first appeared in the Late Eocene Period (38-34 million years ago) and survives until today. The genus name Clypeaster is derived from the Latin “clypeus” (meaning round shield) and “aster” (meaning star), with reference to the shape of these organisms.
