| Description | The term sand dollar (also known as a sea cookie or snapper biscuit in New Zealand, or pansy shell in South Africa) refers to species of extremely flattened, burrowing sea urchins belonging to the order Clypeasteroida. Some species within the order, not quite as flat, are known as sea biscuits. (Related animals include other sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and starfish.)

| Ecospace Comments | LIFE HISTORY: some of the taxa in this order have a more stationary, semi-infaunal mode of life. These taxa are usually suspension feeders; regard by Bambach et al. as detritivores, deposit feeders and suspension feeders; surficial, semi-infaunal, and shallow infaunal. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
