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.

About Faringdon Sponge Fossils:

Faringdon Sponge fossils are silicified marine sponges from the Lower Cretaceous period, approximately 110-120 million years ago. These sponges lived in shallow marine environments and were preserved in the Faringdon Sponge Gravels, a world-famous fossil locality in Oxfordshire, UK. These gravels, deposited in an ancient sea, contain beautifully preserved sponges along with echinoids, brachiopods, and other marine fossils.

The silicification process replaced the original sponge material with silica, allowing for exquisite preservation of their delicate structures. Some specimens even retain evidence of encrusting organisms that lived on them millions of years ago.

This fossil is a remarkable example of prehistoric marine life and an excellent educational specimen for those interested in paleontology, geology, and the evolution of ancient sea life.
