A friend of mine saw one of my previous posts, namely that,

and ask me to show his fossil - I think it is curious.
He found it in the rocks near sea-shore by the Bulgarian village Bjala (feminine for "White"), similar to the well-known White cliffs of Dover.
In my opinion, it is from the period when the Cambrian explosion took place around 540 million years ago. Old piece of stone, uh?

But I'm not an expert in paleontology and my suggestions can be totally wrong. So welcome everybody, who can be of any help.
Enjoy!
Nice fossil! Looks like an Echinoid - related to modern day sea urchins.

Wonderful! My mom and i would spend hours sorting through our neighbors field stone pile looking for fossils. This one is amazing:)
Thank you Chadakoin, I'd suspected something like ancient sea urchin, but there are such a lot of taxa, so one can get mad
Thank you, lady sarahoff,
Thank you all!
