Phymosoma Fossil Regular Echinoid Lower Cretaceous Spain Genuine Specimen
This listing features a genuine Phymosoma fossil, an excellent example of a regular echinoid (sea urchin) from the Lower Cretaceous Period (approximately 145 to 100 million years ago). This well-preserved specimen originates from the marine fossil deposits of Spain, known for their quality Cretaceous echinoderms.
Geology & Origin:
During the Lower Cretaceous, much of what is now Spain was covered by shallow seas teeming with marine life. Echinoids like Phymosoma lived on the seafloor and were occasionally buried quickly under fine sediment, leading to exceptional fossil preservation. Today, these fossil beds yield some of the finest echinoid specimens in Europe.
