This is a fine multiple plate of fossil brittlestars. These are Furcaster palaeoziocus from the famous Bundenbach slate quarries of Germany. Since the quarries have closed, the only way to acquire specimens is from old collections, and this specimen IS from an old German collection. There are FIVE brittlestars preserved on the plate, which is extremely unusual. All of the 'stars have fine detail and display in very unique, aesthetic poses. The fossils have been replaced with iron pyrite or ''fool's gold'', and are well showcased on the large plate of roofing slate. This is a great example of a prolific multiple brittlestar plate from one of the most famous fossil localities in the world.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
