Hi Marion,
I never saw such a beautiful skeleton. Very detailed and well exposed shot.
Thank for sharing, José M.

Hi Marion

It is a Sand Dollar:
the fragile disk is the skeleton or "test" of a marine animal. Sand dollars are from the class of marine animals known as Echinoids, spiny skinned creatures. Their relations include the sea lily, the sea cucumber, the star fish and the sea urchin.

Nice picture of one. I will give you some points tomorrow. All out today.
