Освещено состояние изученности позднемеловых морских ежей Поволжья и формирование представлений об их распространении в породах верхнего мела региона. Проанализированы литературные источники с начала XIX века по настоящее время, содержащие сведения об этой группе беспозвоночных. Установлено, что подавляющее число публикаций несёт обрывочные сведения, сводящиеся к упоминаниям о фактах находок остатков иглокожих. Отмечен параллелизм в истории изучения верхнемеловых отложений и позднемеловых морских ежей Поволжья. Ключевые слова: морские ежи, верхний мел, Поволжье.
The History of the Study Sea Urchins from the Upper Cretaceous of the Volga Region
E. A. KalyakinIn the course of this work we cast the light on the state of research of the Late Cretaceous sea urchins in the Volga region as well as the development of ideas about their distribution in the rocks of the Upper Cretaceous in the region. Resources used in the research include studies about this group of invertebrates since the beginning of the XIX century up to the present day. It was established that the vast majority of publications consist of fragmentary information containing mentions of echinoderm remnants findings. We drew a parallel between the studies of the Upper Cretaceous deposits and Late Cretaceous sea urchins in the Volga Region.
