AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Huge fossil sea urchin of large dimensions. The preparation of the specimen was very laborious, preserving the finest details of the shell. The specimen is slightly deformed. The site where it was found is characterized by a very hard black limestone, which greatly complicates the preparation process. The specimen shows extraordinary preservation. Specimens of this size and quality are very rare and scarce. A museum-worthy specimen.
