This is a cluster of small Early Cretaceous (Barremian Stage) fossil urchins (Trochotiara bourgueti), collected from Agadir, Morocco. Urchins can be found on both sides of this rock.

Sea urchins are a type of echinoderm that are still living relatively unchanged today. They live at the bottom of soft ocean floors and have long spines protruding from their central bodies. They move along the bottom of the ocean using many small feet while feeding on various plant and animal matter.
