Abstract

Nine species (eight new) of holothurian spicules are recorded from the Oxford Clay (cordatum zone) of Redcliff, near Weymouth on the Dorset coast. The new species are described and named and the significance of a close association of Rhabdotites and Theelia is discussed. Previous records of holothurian spicules from British strata are reviewed.
