Close-up of a delicate, textured sea urchin shell on a dark, contrasting background

Textured sea urchin shell, scientifically known as Echinoidea, sits on a dark background. The shell displays a radial pattern of small, rounded nodules and ridges, creating intricate geometric rows. Its off-white color contrasts strikingly with the dark surface, highlighting the shell's delicate, fragile nature and precise symmetry. The central hole is clearly visible, marking where the urchin's mouth once resided. The shell's shape is round and slightly flattened, typical of this marine creature's exoskeleton.
