AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Pseudocidaris mammosa is a fossil sea urchin, considered the ancestor of today's sea urchins.
Dating back to the Jurassic period, approximately 150-200 million years ago, this is a stunning fossil that exhibits the splendid three-dimensionality created by shapes and proportions that are very different from those of modern sea urchins.
Mounted on a design base made of wood and wrought iron, it transforms into an elegant and exclusive design or collection piece.
