Une carapace d'un Oursin, je m'amusais
aussi quand j'étais petit d'un faire la collection

I've had a couple of these for years now Roland. They currently live in my bathroom.

I'm sure I remember seeing sea urchin shells for sale with other kinds of shells in sea front shops when I was a child. I wonder if these shops still exist and whether you can still buy them?

I was lucky enough to live in Malta for a couple of years in the early 70's and I was given two of these by a local fisherman. They currently live in my bathroom.

I'm sure I've seen them for sale as well though.

I see some every day on the beach, but not so beautifully clean !

I was lucky to have these emptied and cleaned for me..........the locals eat the contents raw!

Und das kommt aus dem Meer? - Sieht toll aus! :-))

It does indeed Frank.............but when it is alive it is covered in very long sharp spikes, which it uses to move around.
