Description from the seller
The Mammosa Pseudocidaris is a fossil sea urchin, considered the ancestor of today's sea urchins.
Dating back to the Jurassic period, approximately 150-200 million years ago, this is a stunning fossil that exhibits the splendid three-dimensionality created by shapes and proportions that are very different from those of modern sea urchins.
Mounted on a base of wood and wrought iron design, it transforms into an elegant and exclusive piece of design or collection.
