AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Mammosa Pseudocidaris is a fossil urchin, considered the ancestor of modern sea urchins.
Dating back to the Jurassic period, around 150-200 million years ago, it is a stupendous fossil which has been given the splendid three-dimensionality given by the shapes and proportions that are very different from current hedgehogs.
Mounted on a designer base in wood and wrought iron, it transforms into an elegant and exclusive design element or collection.

Seller's Story

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". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
