What resembles a pattern of stones or intricate mosaics is actually the back of a large plated sea star that I found at Rottnest Island. Sea stars and sea urchins are from the same scientific class of creature. Knowing this, it is easy to see how the long dangerous spines of a sea urchin have, in this instance, transformed into short blunt clumps that act more as a shield on the sea stars back. This essentially gives the creature plates of armour.
