Pygaster Fossil Regular Echinoid Jurassic Dorset UK Genuine Specimen

Featured here is a genuine Pygaster fossil, a well-preserved example of a regular echinoid (sea urchin) from the Jurassic Period (approximately 201 to 145 million years ago). This specimen was sourced from the famous fossil beds of Dorset, UK, part of England's renowned Jurassic Coast.

Geology & Origin:

The Jurassic Coast of Dorset is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known globally for its rich fossil record and accessible sedimentary layers. During the Jurassic, this area was submerged under a warm shallow sea, ideal for marine organisms such as echinoids. As these creatures died, they were quickly buried under sediment and fossilized in exceptional detail. The result is a rare and scientifically valuable fossil like this specimen of Pygaster.
