Description from the seller
Beautiful cluster of fossil Spatangus echinoids preserved on their original natural matrix from Portugal.
The three specimens have been carefully prepared on the matrix to create an aesthetically pleasing presentation.
Despite these imperfections, two echinoids are restored, the specimens retain the characteristic heart-shaped outline and surface details still clearly visible.
These fossil sea urchins represent an excellent opportunity for collectors of echinoids, marine fossils, and natural history specimens.

Seller's Story
I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world.
Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan.
Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us.
