Hardouinia mortonis

Hardouinia mortonis
Peedee Formation
Maastrichtian Age, Late Cretaceous (~70 Ma)
Rocky Point, Pender County, North Carolina, USA
Acquired from online, July 2023

Specimen has a large majority of the aboral surface spines, and some remnants of the oral surface spines, including inside the peristome. The aboral surface is definitely the more attractive side of this specimen.

This has been one of my "must have" fossils ever since I first began collecting echinoids. I'm very happy to have obtained this one!
