Abstract:

Shipek and box core sediment grabs on NOAA Ships Gordon Gunter and Pisces 2008-2012 yielded two new species of kinorhychs: Echinoderes augustae and Echinoderes skipperae. This dataset contains locations and raw data (measurements) to support the description of these new kinorhych species.
