I'm sure I remember seeing sea urchin shells for sale with other kinds of shells in sea front shops when I was a child. I wonder if these shops still exist and whether you can still buy them?

Keith Burton club has replied to Rachel J Bowler
I was lucky enough to live in Malta for a couple of years in the early 70's and I was given two of these by a local fisherman. They currently live in my bathroom.

I'm sure I've seen them for sale as well though.

It does indeed Frank.............but when it is alive it is covered in very long sharp spikes, which it uses to move around.
