(Lepto) Salenia sp., Cretaceous, MAR

Product information "(Lepto) Salenia sp., Cretaceous, MAR"

Small, completely preserved sea urchins without spines.
As the spines are only attached to the body with a thin layer of tissue, they quickly fall off after the death of the animal and are carried away by the current. However, the body is preserved with the finest details, such as the spine bases or the pores on the ambulacral plates.

Age: Cretaceous
Locality: Morocco
Size: approx. 1.5 cm

Heliophora orbicularis (in box), Pliocene; MAR

Beautiful sea urchin.The West African Sanddollar still exists today and has been adapted to life in shallow water at the base of waves for millions of years. The flattened shape reduces the resistance and thus the risk of being washed away.  Its "fingers" and spines, which are only used for locomotion and no longer for protection, prevent dynamic buoyancy. This allows the sea urchin to use its small grasping feet to pick up food undisturbed and transport it to its mouth using mucus trails.Age: Pliocene;Locality: Morocco Size: 2-3 cm Comes in a black Jousi box.Colors on product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.Our photos are for reference only, when purchasing you will receive a piece of comparable quality.
