Fossil echinoids?


Desrosiers1718

Recommended Posts

I’ve found two of these in a gravel area in my front apartment area I remember buying the bags at a popular hardware store,  I was told they are Echinoids,  at first I thought they must have been something I collected and threw there but these are not common in my part of California.   As far as I know.  Any idea what species these are and where they might have originated?   I’m tempted to buy another bag.

There are too few left to determine anything other than irregular sea urchin.

 

Maybe the age of the field might help a little. Miocene ?

looks a bit like a spatangoid sea urchin, but without age or locality it would be hard to determine it
