This is a very nice irregular echinoid. It is a Cassidulus gouldii from the Oligocene of Florida. The echinoid has been removed from the matrix so that it can be viewed from all angles. This 3-dimensional specimen shows hardly any weathering and exhibits fine detail - the ambulacra are nicely displayed, and the mouth and anus of this echinoderm are easily seen. The surface of the test is covered with small dimples which were the spine attachment points. This is a very pretty fossil sea urchin from Florida.
