Martin Marietta Quarry
Jones County
North Carolina
United States
From this location, the Martin Marietta Quarry at Belgrade this is a very rare echinoid Most found (90% plus) are broken and or crushed. All are matrix encrusted and any attempt at removing the matrix usually ends in disaster. This specimen is exceptionally clean and complete. One of my most prized finds from this quarry.
