This is a Late Cretaceous age Echinocorys sp.? fossil echinoid from Kent, England. Specimens from this area often associate with chert deposits, as seen here. Echinocorys remains have been found in Asia, Europe, and North America, with many Cretaceous deposits throughout Europe.
Sea urchins are a type of echinoderm that are still living relatively unchanged today. They live at the bottom of soft ocean floors and have long spines protruding from their central bodies. They move along the bottom of the ocean using many small feet while feeding on various plant and animal matter.
