Lunny Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi, I found this fossil a few years ago in some gravel on an airfield and was wondering if you could tell me any more about it? So far I've deduced that it's a fossil urchin, possibly a sea potato or another kind of heart urchin. haha as you can probably tell I'm no expert on this subject! It's about 2 inches from top to bottom. Have any of you got any idea of the age it could be? Any info would be great. Sorry if this is a bit tame in comparison to the stuff you guys usually find but I find this stuff really interesting and would love to know more.

squalicorax Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi it definitely looks like an echinoid. Where was it found? My Flickr Page of My Collection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79424101@N00/sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
