Age: Lower Miocene, Burdigalian, Mannum Formation (approx. 20 million years)
Locality: Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia
Size: 3 x 3 x 1.5 cm

Small, completely preserved sea urchins without spines. As the spines are only attached to the body with a thin layer of tissue, they quickly fall off after the death of the animal and are carried away by the current. However, the body is preserved with the finest details, such as the spine bases or the pores on the ambulacral plates.Age: CretaceousLocality: MoroccoSize: approx. 1.5 cmThe photo is a sample image.
