They are part of the Aristotle's lantern, a feeding structure in urchins also, commonly called "doves" by beachcombers. The lantern of clypeasteroids is much simpler than that of the regular urchins and essentially consists of the five pyramids and their five teeth. There is a central length of the pyramid, the tooth that looks like the body of the dove.
