		In fact, the word Echinodermata means "like a sea urchin's skin" in Greek.
		There are at least 2,000 tube feet, which can penetrate the body wall and skeleton in places called ambulacral grooves, in most echinoderms.
		There are five major classes in the phylum Echinodermata.

		Echinodermata has approximately 7000 described living species and about 13,000 extinct species known from the fossil record.
		A traditional hypothesis of the Echinodermata using only extant taxonomic groups places the Asteroidea and Ophiuroidea as sister groups based on the shared derived characteristic of a five-rayed body plan.
		An alternative hypothesis including fossil groups places Asteroidea as a more primitive group with the derived characteristic of five arms connected to a central disc.

	Introduction to the Echinodermata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		These and many other organisms, living and extinct, make up the Echinodermata, the largest phylum to lack any freshwater or land representatives.
		Echinoderms have a system of internal water-filled canals, which in many echinoderms form suckered "tube feet", with which the animal may move or grip objects.
		Images and information about various living California echinoderms are available through the DELTA Project of the California State University system.

	Echinodermata - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Echinodermata, (from the Greek meaning spiny skin), is a phylum containing about 6000 species, and constitutes the only major group of deuterostome* invertebrates.
		Since most echinoderms possess some form of calcareous* skeleton, we have a very good fossil record of the evolution of this group, although many aspects of their evolution are far from clear.
		However, most workers divide the living echinoderms into four classes; Crinoidea, Stelleroidea, Echinoidea and Holothuroidea.

	Phylum Echinodermata
		Phylum Echinodermata is the phylum most closely related to phylum Chordata, our own phylum.
		The 6,000 species that make up this phylum do not show body segmentation, and are radially symmetrical when fully grown for the most part.
		These tube feet, and in many echinoderms arms and even organs, can be regenerated.
