AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A monstrous fossil sea urchin of enormous size. Preparing the specimen was a laborious process, preserving even the finest details of its shell. The specimen is slightly deformed. The deposit where it was found is characterized by very hard black limestone, which greatly complicated the preparation. The specimen is exceptionally well-preserved. Specimens of this size and quality are very rare. A museum-worthy specimen.
