The Echinoids, commonly known as sea urchins, are a class of the Echinoderms phylum and their body is made up of a shell surrounded by many spines.
It is difficult to find complete fossils of them, the most common is to find the shell (the spines fall off when they die).
The piece you receive may differ slightly from the photo shown, as the fossils are natural and no piece is identical. The size is approximate.
