...so I decided to try and put it back together!
Forgot to take a proper before shot, in this photo I've already glued about 6 pieces.
Progress...
More progress...
Getting there...
Here's where I'm up to. I had to leave it at my parents' house (it was my mum's) but I'm close!
This is how the pieces broke apart. Amazing.
...almost in place...

If you enjoyed this, you might want to consider volunteering at a local paleontology lab. Good fossil preparators are hard to come by.

My puppy broke mine in half. I tried to glue it but the super glue didn't work. How did you get yours to work??

Alternate truth: @OP broke their shell and pics are in reverse order.

I thought sea urchins have spines.
chonas
This is the test, or skeleton
Planktonini
They fall off after death, the little circles are where the spines used to be :)

If you enjoyed this, OP, you might like Kintsugi. It's a Japanese art of fixing things with gold so the cracks show. Kits on amazon.
ricochetbiscuit
That sounds incredible
Planktonini
Awesome!! Yes I am doing this for fun (the real owner put the pieces in the bin!)
HappySpandex
poor guy cant even afford a new sea urchin, let alone gold repair kits!

Jeweler?
Planktonini
My dad is (as a hobby) and I'm not, hence the unholy combination of proper silversmithing tools and matchsticks in my tools.
Spaz117
Or your just a psychopath who likes satanic hard puzzles. +1 you crazy bastard.
Thatknifeguy
Awesome! I saw the familiar torched tweezers.
pokeballin
I'm pretty sure you are supposed to use gold to fix it.
Gastroboi
Love those mended bowls.
blondeliners
My first thought!

Kintsukuroi!

That's Kintsugi. You can buy kits on amazon.

That's for pottery not seashells!
PilotPirx
It's art (and also a philosophy), you can always take the 'principle' and apply it to something else.
AliBarber
To be fair that's a pottery seashell
