Hi,
its the remains of a heart urchin, Echinocardium cordatum
You find them quite often on some beaches, Ynys-las near Borth is where I've often seen them.

Like so many photos, what it dosn' show is tantalising.
Apart from the image, where found and when will help.
As a total prance in the dark, sea-urchin (just thought, Urchin is a common name for a hedgehog, so a sea hedgehog), jelly fish remains?
Anyone else up for a prance? In the dark?

Well there you go. Gerel pranced, but in the light of knowledge.

We found it at our local beach which we are very blessed to have. Cefn Sidan is without doubt the most beautiful beach I have ever been to and that's saying something. Thanks very much for the help though. We have just moved to this area and we are in heaven with otters and a kite amongst our neighbours. |

another common name for it is the Sea Potato, you can see thousands of them after mass mortalities at the tail end of the year
