Acrosalenia cf. hemicidaroides

Overall rock size: 16,5x16,0x3,5 cm

Another Collector Piece! Three perfectly preserved and complete echinites, two dorsal - one ventral, plus one huge

remain of a fourth sample of Acrosalenia hemicidaroides. All of them on a bed of sea urchin spines

and some fossil crinoid fragments. This beautiful specimen was found in the so called 'clay layer' of the famous

Landaville quarry, in which the fossils are preserved in a special three-dimensional way, which gives,

after preparation, a perfect idea of the former sea ground. No restauration - nothing added!

Formation: Middle Jurassic, Bathonium

Age: 168,3 - 166,1 million years

Locality: Landaville-le-bas, Vosges, France
