Here is a fabulous example of a rare echinoid. This is Plegiocidaris (Philicidaris) mercieri from the Jurassic of Morocco. This striking sea urchin has been removed from the surrounding matrix so that it can be viewed from all angles. The echinoid is very inflated and exhibits excellent detail. The test of the echinoid is covered with large tubercles which were the spine attachment points. The thin ambulacra are beautifully displayed. Under magnification, the plate structure of the echinoid is clearly defined. Both sides of the sea urchin are extremely well preserved. The degree of preservation and the pentameral symmetry make for a wonderful specimen of this unusual sea urchin from the Jurassic.
