A single internal mould of the holasterid echinoid Holaster laevis (Brongniart, 1822) constitutes the first record of this species from the upper portion (‘Upper Holland Marl’) of the Holland Formation (Rijnland Group), of middle-late Albian age, in the Winterswijk area (eastern Netherlands). The geographic range of H. laevis can thus be extended to this part of western Europe, with previous records from southern England (Wiltshire, Devon) and the Département Ain in east-central France.
