Museum of Coastal Carolina: Bewildering Biofacts – Sea Urchin Tests and Spines

Some may find the word “biofact” bewildering, but the Museum promises clarity, enlightenment and fun that’ll inspire curiosity! Visitors will explore biological artifacts such as bones, fur, eggs, and shells; learn what they reveal about area wildlife; and create biofact replicas to take home.

On January 13 we will explore Sea Urchin Tests and Spines. Did you know that sea urchins’ shells are called tests? Closely examine sea urchin tests and spines, learn where they got their name, explore how they grow, and make sea urchins to take home.
