Description from the seller
La Mammosa Pseudocidaris is a fossil sea urchin, considered the ancestor of today's sea urchins.
From the Jurassic, about 150-200 million years ago, it is a stunning fossil that has been restored with the splendid three-dimensionality given by the shapes and proportions that are very different from current sea urchins.
Mounted on a design base of wood and wrought iron, it transforms into an elegant and exclusive element of design or collection.

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
