Sea Urchin With Attached Spines. This magnificent 150 million year old sea urchin Pseudocidaris is virtually complete with 23 club-like spines still being in place to create a life-like fossil. This is very rare as the spines easily break off and are rarely found intact as a complete specimen. This unusual fossil is 2.5 x 2.5 inches on a 4X4 inch original stone matrix and was found on Ile de Re (a small island near the Pointe du Chay) France. Sea Urchins which are related to Star Fish have been found in the fossil record for over 300 million years. This museum quality fossil is nicely displayed on a 7 x 4 inch black wooden base.
