This rare genus is Reboulicidaris rebouli, dating back to the Lower Jurassic period (specifically the Domerian Stage, roughly 185 million years ago). It is heavily collected from the ancient marine deposits near Amellago, Morocco.
Bring a remarkable piece of prehistoric marine life into your home with this spectacular, museum-quality Jurassic Club-Spined Sea Urchin. Because sea urchin spines naturally detach within hours of death, complete museum specimens are meticulously reassembled composites. Preparators extract the individual spines from the hard limestone matrix, clean them, and structurally remount them to the central test in their original, lifelike radial orientation. Rather than short bulbous clubs, this genus features incredibly long, slender, and lightly textured "pencil" style defensive spines.
At an impressive 4 inches wide across the spine extension, this piece stands out far beyond standard collector finds. It features a perfectly centered, highly detailed central test (shell) intricately surrounded by its iconic, heavy, club-shaped defensive spines, all resting naturally on its original limestone matrix.
Why This Specimen is Extraordinary:
Premium Size Class: Standard club urchins rarely exceed 2 inches. This massive 4-inch cluster is an absolute powerhouse statement piece for any collection or interior display.
Masterful Micro-Blasting Preparation: Dozens of hours of meticulous micro-abrasive lab work have been invested to expose each individual club spine with flawless radial symmetry while maintaining structural integrity.100%
Authentic Material: No synthetic casts. This is a genuine piece of Earth's ancient history, complete with mesmerizing texture and deep earthy tones.
