This is an amazing association of fossil brittlestars. There is a Taeniaster beneckei and a Furcaster palaeozoicus preserved on the plate of roofing slate. This specimen came from an OLD German collection, and you can easily see why they held on to it all these years! The Taeniaster has a large central disc and shorter, thicker arms. This brittlestar has beautiful detail preserved. Below the rare Taeniaster is a beautiful Furcaster. This brittlestar has long, flowing arms that are very nicely displayed. This large brittlestar also has excellent detail and very fine form. Both large brittlestars are nicely showcased in the center of a triangular slab of roofing slate. This is an extremely unusual association of a Taeniaster and a Furcaster fossilized together on the same rock.
