About the Item

Clypeaster Echinoid (Sea Urchin) Miocene Period (5 - 23 million years old) Morocco 3.75 h x 6.5 w in. / 9.5 x 16.5 cm This attractive example of a fossilized sand dollar is expertly cleaned and polished to retain the endoskeleton (outer shell), preserving excellent definition and details. With cream and honey-colored tones and soft edges, it is a fascinating and beautiful specimen. Animals of the Clypeaster genus are more commonly referred to as "sea biscuits” or “cake urchins.” The genus first appeared in the Late Eocene Period (38-34 million years ago) and survives until today. The genus name Clypeaster is derived from the Latin “clypeus” (meaning round shield) and “aster” (meaning star), with reference to the shape of these organisms.
