AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Natural skeleton of a purple sea urchin (Sphaerechinus granularis) – 90 mm – Mediterranean Sea / Atlantic
For sale a very well preserved, 100% natural and cleaned skeleton (test) of the purple sea urchin of the species Sphaerechinus granularis.
The specimen is characterized by the shape typical for this species: flattened, symmetrical, and with an exceptionally pronounced surface sculpture. It consists of regular, vertical rows of large, convex tubercles (former spine attachment sites) in shades of muted purple, brown, and cream white. The test is light, complete and very decorative – it will make an excellent exhibit in a natural history collection, an item for a Wunderkammer, or a unique interior decoration in a nautical style.
Specification:
• Species: Purple sea urchin (Sphaerechinus granularis, Lamarck, 1816)
• Class / Family: Echinoidea / Toxopneustidae
• Origin: Mediterranean Sea / Eastern Atlantic
• Dimensions: 90 x 90 x 50 mm
• Weight: 37 g
• Color: Shades of purple, brown and white (colors 100% natural, undyed)
• Condition: Very good, natural preservation state (as shown in photos). No cracks or losses.
Shipping:
Due to the specimen’s fragility, the test will be packed with the utmost care (multiple-layer protection with soft filling and a rigid carton) to guarantee safe transport. Trackable shipping.
