I have this Echinoid I think


Fossilhelp

Recommended Posts

 I found it on a south west cliff/beach and it has a odd internal spine like thing.

Any ideas? I’m quite bad at IDs as well,  so any clues about it ? Please help.
Here’s some photos hope this helps. Thanks for your time.

God fossils still fry my brain, just thinking how old, and it’s trip to get into my hand still makes me go woah!

Last 2 phots show the spine like thing quite well

Yes, it's an echinoid preserved in flint / chert. 

The test has been partly broken away in one area and the 'spine' is an extra bit of attached chert in the middle of this section.
