Dear Anneliders
I would like to point your attention on fossil spionid-echinoid association preserved as boring traces in the skeleton of a Late Cretaceous echinoid. As far as we know, it is the only recorded association of spionids with echinoids as hosts:
"Wisshak, M. and Neumann, C. (2006): A symbiotic association of a boring polydorid polychaete and an echinoid from the chalk (Late Cretaceous, Northern Germany).- Acta Palaeontologica Colonica. 51 (3): 589-597."
You can download (free) the paper at the journal's homepage: http://app.pan.pl/
Cheers,
Christian
