This is a rare and well-preserved Rhabocidaris sp regular echinoid fossil from the Kimmeridgian stage of the Late Jurassic, discovered in Malogosziz, Poland. A remarkable and scientifically significant specimen, this fossil showcases the intricate structure of this extinct sea urchin, making it a prized addition to any fossil collection.

Species Information:

Rhabocidaris sp belongs to a family of regular echinoids, meaning it retained the radial symmetry characteristic of earlier echinoids. These sea urchins had a rigid, spherical test (shell) covered in large, interlocking tubercles that supported robust spines. Their defensive adaptations helped them survive in the shallow marine environments of the Jurassic period.

Fossils of Rhabocidaris are particularly valuable for understanding the evolution of echinoids, as their distinct morphology provides key insights into their ecological role in Jurassic seas. The Kimmeridgian stage (~157–152 million years ago) was a period of extensive marine biodiversity, and these echinoids played an important part in the ecosystem.

  • Species: Rhabocidaris sp

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.
