AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Mammosa pseudocidaris is a fossil sea urchin, considered the ancestor of modern sea urchins.
Dating back to the Jurassic, around 150-200 million years ago, it is a wonderful fossil that has been restored to its splendid three-dimensionality given by the shapes and proportions very different from those of today's sea urchins.
Mounted on a design 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.
