A fossil sea urchin emerging from a flake of grey flint
Sometimes we see fossils in stone artefacts, but rarely are the specimens as perfect as this echinoid, exposed in a flint flake knapped by an early Neanderthal 480,000 years ago. In this case it was left behind with other waste flakes, but was it noticed? did they have a name for them?
