Encope emarginata, a notched sand dollar, is a marine echinoid ranging the western Atlantic ocean. They are best known for their bioturbation in the sediment, relationship with crabs, and their widespread distribution.
Although Encope emarginata can be found in America, fossil traces have been found in the southernmost part of Brazil's coast. The area that is inhibited by Encope emarginata is below the action of the normal wave regime, thus the fossils of this species is only truly disturbed during extreme coastal weather (Lopes, 2011).
