AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Impressive high-quality fossil sea urchin. Its dimensions are maximum for this species. The preparation of the specimen was very labor-intensive, preserving the finest details of the shell. The site where it was found is characterized by a very hard black limestone, which greatly complicates preparation. Specimens of this size and quality are very rare and scarce. A museum-worthy specimen.
