thair Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I went out and seached for more pieces of the puzzle so I could complete my big urchin. Some of you may have seen my previous post about puting these back together for a display. Below is a picture of the location and the finished product, at least as finished as it is going to get until we get another big rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 It sure helps me to realize the amount of real estate these guys took up in their living condition; well done!

Wrangellian Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Quite the job! I am wondering though whether that (or any) urchin would have stood on those long spines diagonally like that, or would it have had shorter spines more directly underneath it?

I beleave you are right. I have these spins coming out the side but because of the weight of the I let them rest on the base. I did find smaller plates that I beleave would have been on the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
