Fossildude19 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Moved to Fossil ID. Welcome to the Forum. You appear to have a very worn down echinoid, or sea urchin. Hope that helps. Regards, 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Fossildude19 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I am not knowledgeable about your area, so I don't know if they are rare there. I don't think so, though. Fossil echinoids can be quite numerous in some places. Yours is quite worn, and while interesting, is not in the best of shape. More inflated and complete specimens are usually more sought after.

daves64 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Maybe that's where the ancient civilizations got some of their deity & monster inspirations from.... fossils. Link to post Share on other sites
abyssunder Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 It looks like an irregular echinoid with the five petal rows, perhaps similar to Micraster. Pictures from more sides, location of the find might help in the ID. Link to post Share on other sites
