Radiolas (quills) of Fossil Hedgehog.
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 fossil includes a label with the name, period and provenance and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the photo)
Since the samples are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The fossils come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the fossil. The size is approximate.
