Presenting a genuine Eucosmus caraboeufi fossil echinoid, collected from the Bajocian Stage of the Middle Jurassic, originating in Garsif, Morocco. This exceptionally preserved fossil sea urchin represents a rare and scientifically notable echinoid genus with distinctive morphological characteristics. The specimen photographed is the actual piece you will receive. For sizing, each scale cube equals 1cm – please refer to the images for full dimensions.
Species & Classification:
Species: Eucosmus caraboeufi
Type: Fossil Echinoid (Sea Urchin)
Order: Cidaroida
Family: Eucidaridae
Phylum: Echinodermata
Geological & Stratigraphic Context:
Period: Jurassic
Epoch: Middle Jurassic
Stage: Bajocian (Approx. 170.3 to 168.3 million years ago)
Depositional Environment: Shallow marine, subtidal carbonate platform with high faunal diversity and excellent conditions for fossil preservation
Morphology Features:
Strongly ornamented test with prominent interambulacral tubercles
Spherical to sub-globose body shape, consistent with cidaroid adaptations
Radiating ambulacral rows with small pore pairs for tube feet
Rigid, robust test structure indicative of a benthic marine lifestyle
Notable Facts:
Eucosmus caraboeufi is a classic representative of Jurassic cidaroid echinoids and is often used in studies of Middle Jurassic echinoderm evolution.
Moroccan Bajocian localities are renowned for their fossil preservation, yielding echinoids with remarkable surface detail.
Fossils from this region contribute valuable insights into the paleobiogeography of Jurassic echinoid faunas across the Tethyan Realm.

Jurassic Information
The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
