This is a 1.5" fossil echinoid (sea urchin) of the species Heteraster mexicanus from the Lower Cretaceous Comanche Peak Formation near Evant, Texas. It shows fantastic three-dimensional preservation!
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.
