11" Fossil Sea Urchins (Eupatagus) Composite Sculpture - Florida

This is a beautiful, display sculpture with real 38 million year old fossil sea urchins (Eupatagus antillarum) which have been mounted into an artificial matrix. It stands about 11" tall in total and has a flat base so that is stands up on it's own.

Sea urchins are a type of echinoderm which are still living relatively unchanged today. They live at the bottom of soft ocean floors and have long spines protruding from their central body. They move along the bottom of the ocean using many small feet while feeding on various plant and animal matter.
