Confirmação de uma observação de Carlos Ribeiro (1813-1882), pioneiro da Geologia estratigráfica e da Arqueologia pré-histórica em Portugal, através do estudo de um exemplar de equinoderme fóssil identificado pelo autor.
Em artigo publicado em 1871, Carlos Ribeiro colocara a hipótese desse género de fóssil corresponder às “pedras” com que, segundo a tradição, foram lapidados em Olisipo (Lisboa) três cristãos ao tempo de Diocleciano (imperador romano entre 284 e 305 d.C.), os irmãos Veríssimo, Máxima e Júlia.
Santificados e transladados para a Igreja de Santos-o-Velho, onde já estariam em 1194, as suas relíquias mantiveram grande prestígio durante séculos. As “pedras do martírio” ainda eram aí veneradas no final do século XIX.

In an article published in 1871, Carlos Ribeiro had hypothesised that that type of fossil might correspond to the “stones” used, according to tradition, to stone the three Christian siblings Veríssimo, Máxima and Júlia at the time of Diocletian (Roman emperor between 284 and 305 AD) in Olisipo (Lisbon). The three siblings were sanctified and transferred to the church of Santos-o-Velho. It is believed their relics were in the church as early as 1194 and earned great prestige for centuries. The “martyr stones” were still worshipped there at the end of the 19th century.
