five-fold radial symmetry indicates that this is some type of echinoderm
Sea urchin probably
Thank you
As said earlier sea urchin
👌🏻thanks
@jbauer Might be able to help with an ID.
https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/data/echinoid-directory/taxa/key.jsp?id=388 is a pretty neat website that walks you through how to identify your own echinoid specimens. You’ll have to look up some of the morphological terms they use, but thats part of the fun!
That’s great! Thank you all so much
👍
I agree with the sea urchin identification & double down with @patrick-hsieh‘s suggestion to use and explore the echinoid directory – it’s such a great resource with amazing images. You could update your taxonomy to be Phylum Echinodermata, Class Echinoidea
