Eons of years back, the oceans might have probabaly occupied a more larger part of the earths surface than it does today. For some reasons best known to nature, the waters retreated to an extent and reduced, leaving behind large mass of its sediments as deposits, which formed most of our desert lands. Change in climatic conditions over time also helped to maintain and sustain their existence.

What is the genus name for a sand dollar?

Surprisingly, the actual name for a group of sand dollars is "a fortune." The term "sand dollar" refers to the round flat shape of the rigid endoskeleton which apparently reminded American sailors and sea-farers of a large coin when they spoted them washed up on beaches, bleached a dazzling white by the sun. This comparison to coinage and money led to the eventual use of the term "fortune" to describe a large group of these marine animals, which can congregate by the hundreds on sandbars just below the surface of the sea floor.
