Prehistoric Seas, Paleozoic to Cenozoic Era, ca. 400 million to 2.6 million years ago. A collection of four fossilized echinoderms comprising prehistoric sea urchins and sand dollars, two preserved within natural stone matrix and two fully excavated and free-standing. The flattened sand dollars display the characteristic five-petal petaloid pattern radiating across their discs, a remnant of the living animal’s structure, while their smooth surfaces reflect the loss of delicate spines after burial and fossilization, preserving the iconic star-like design in stone.
