Endoskeletons in non-notochord possessing animals

The overview section says “During early embryonic development the endoskeleton is composed of notochord and cartilage,” however echinoderms (e.g., sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc.) also possess endoskeletons (Ossicle (echinoderm)) and, by definition, do not possess a notochord, as an animal with a notochord is a chordate, at least extant animals with notochords.

I don't think this article is distinct from "skeleton" -- which already has sections about the skeletons of major animal groups...providing more information about endoskeletons than this article does. AdamChrisR (talk) 02:57, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
