Sea urchins have inhabited the earth for about 480 million years. About 950 recent species from 12 different orders inhabit all areas of our oceans. Anyone who has attempted to prepare a sea urchin knows how difficult it is to keep the spines in this shape and symmetry.
The installation of the zoological specimen in the plexiglass box was made in a German taxidermy studio.
