More rare Hardouinia clypeus.  Condition not great, but it’ll keep.

Those are beautiful! 

Great prep work!

Great work Dan. I enjoy seeing echnoids from other places, especially different species within Genus's that we have here in North Carolina.

Nice biscuits!

Well done! Lovely echinoids 

[Ludwigia]

Wow! The entrance and exit are dangerously close on the Coenholectypus

Very nice finds. I love the ones in the matrix.

Love the way you have some popped out of the matrix revealing the impressions.

I went looking the other day in a place here in Utah known for Echinoids but found none. Congrats on your finds.

I think I’ve heard of rare Triassic echs out that way.  What age are you searching?

Nice stuff.  i too like fossils still in the matrix.
