This chert echinoid can be removed from its surrounding rock, a fantastic feature. The detail on the chinoid is fine and will make a unique aquisition for the collector of quality UK echinoids. Approximately 100 million years old.
Clypeus were once referred to as "Pound Stones" and were used as weights especially weighing dairy products. This is a superb example which has been aesthetically presented on a piece of oolithic limestone which also has a cut base for ease of display. The specimen has been repaired however this does not detract from the overall aesthetics. A lovely specimen that could be used in the home or office space or indeed as a collectors piece.
An absolutely stunning example which is immaculate. It is rare to get a perfect echinoid from this lost locality. The detail throughout is magnificent and would make a superb addition to any collection. Approximately 163 million years old.
