EDITORS COMMENTS
This fossil print showcases the exquisitely preserved remains of Plegiocidaris coronata, an ancient sea urchin hailing from the Jurassic period of Ulm, Germany. As a member of the Echinoid class within the larger phylum Echinodermata, this marine invertebrate shares a rich history with its modern counterparts, such as the common sea urchin. The Mesozoic Era, during which the Jurassic period falls, was a time of remarkable biospheric diversity. The fossilized Plegiocidaris coronata, with its distinctive two-part test or shell, is a testament to the intricate and complex life forms that thrived during this prehistoric age. Discovered in Ulm, a city located in the southwestern part of Germany, this fossil adds to the wealth of knowledge about the marine life of the Jurassic period. Plegiocidaris coronata's fossilized form, with its intricate spines and symmetrical structure, provides valuable insights into the morphology and evolution of echinoids. Richard Fortey, a renowned British paleontologist, has described the fossil record as "the key to the past." Through the study of fossils like Plegiocidaris coronata, we can piece together the history of life on Earth and gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of evolution. This fossil print is a reminder of the rich marine life that once inhabited the oceans of the Jurassic period and serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world. The intricate details of the fossil are beautifully captured in this print, offering a glimpse into the past and a connection to the prehistoric world.
