Description
Genuine Giant Echinoid Fossil
This fossil is identified as a Giant Echinoid Fossil, Dendraster, with a Miocene age designation. Echinoids are marine animals belonging to the wider group that includes sea urchins and sand dollars. Dendraster is a recognised sand dollar genus, making this fossil an appealing choice for collectors interested in fossil echinoids, marine paleontology and natural history.
The specimen offers an opportunity to own a genuine fossil associated with a Miocene identification. Its broad echinoid form and taxonomic reference make it suitable for fossil collections, geology displays, educational study and decorative presentation. Dendraster fossils are particularly interesting because sand dollars preserve the distinctive body architecture of flattened echinoids, providing a direct connection to ancient marine life.
Miocene Fossil Identification
The supplied identification is Dendraster, and the stated geological age is Miocene. The Miocene is a major epoch of the Neogene Period, spanning a significant interval of Earth’s geological history. Fossils from this epoch are valued for documenting ancient ecosystems and the development of marine and terrestrial life over time. In a collection, this piece can be displayed as a representative Miocene echinoid fossil and as an example of fossilised marine invertebrate material.
Locality Information
The stated locality is Mount Cidolog, Pasanggrahan, Sagaranten, Sukabumi Regency, West Java, Indonesia. This location information adds geographical context to the fossil and makes it an informative addition for collectors who record locality details alongside geological age and identification.
Collector and Display Appeal
This Dendraster echinoid fossil is well suited to fossil collectors, students, teachers, museum-style displays and anyone interested in ancient marine organisms. It can be presented alongside other echinoids, invertebrate fossils, Miocene specimens or Indonesian geological material. The identification and locality information can also be used for collection labels, educational displays and personal cataloguing.
The fossil may be displayed in a cabinet, on a shelf or as part of a dedicated geology arrangement. Its echinoid identification gives it a clear theme for collections focused on sea urchins, sand dollars, marine fossils or prehistoric life. Full sizing is shown in the photographs.
