- Deuterostome embryo development
- Secondary radial symmetry: larvae have bilateral symmetry (radial symmetry thought to have evolved from sessile forms)
- Five radial parts; sea urchins and cucumbers by folding "arms" upwards and fusing their edges; sea cucumbers lay on "side" and developed pseudo-bilateral symmetry, i.e. have distinct upper and lower side
- Endoskeleton: calcite plates = ossicles, covered by epidermis, may be single plates (flexible body) or fused (solid shell, sea urchin)
- Spines on calcite plates give "spiny skin" (phylum name!) sea urchin spines are endoskeleton and covered by thin skin!
