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