Sea urchin fossil from the dump

[Erdspiegel]

Hello,
Yesterday I walked over a 1940s dump-site.Picked up a little fossil from the ground there. 8)
Must have been a part of an old collection.

Identified as 'Galerites':

Cheers, Erdspiegel

Good find, 'Erdspiegel'! I always counted it a good day when, looking for bottles, I found a fossil. . . .Or, vice versa.
