Micraster
Artwork by Franz Anthony / @franzanth
Some sea urchins defy our expectations of what makes an urchin: round and spiky. Sand dollars, for example, are flattened urchins. Others, like Micraster, are known as "heart urchins" for their iconic shape.

I was on an excavation tour today and found a micraster (sea urchin). I'm poorly preparating it now but he's quite lovely somehow.
The Sedgwick Museum is heavenly, and totally satisfying my Echinoid obsession right now. #Cambridge #museum #sedgwickmuseum #fossils #paleontology #micraster #echinoderm (why is there no emoji for these?) (at Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences)
