This is a 2.3" wide, Ordovician aged starfish of the genus Petraster associated with about half a dozen undescribed Edrioasteroids. It comes from the Tioririne Formation near Blekus, Morocco.
Edrioasteroids are an extinct class of echinoderms that lived from the Ediacaran until the Permian, about 300 million years ago. The living animal would have resembled a pentamerously symmetrical disc or cushion.
