Here is a very nice starfish specimen from the Ordovician of Morocco. This plate contains a beautiful, complete true starfish. The fossil sea star exhibits excellent detail - all five of the extremely long arms are intact, and the plate structure is easily seen. It is extremely unusual to have all of the arms intact and splayed out. The fossil has excellent orange-brown coloration and contrasts strikingly with the light brown matrix. The fossil is somewhat inflated and beautifully showcased on the large block of sandstone that also contains a second starfish and a cool edrioasteroid. This is a very fine true starfish fossil from North Africa.
