6.4" Huge, Top Quality Ordovician Brittle Star (Ophiura) - Morocco

This is a huge, 6.4" wide fossil brittle star (Ophiura sp.) from the Kataoua Formation of Morocco. It is Ordovician in age, approximately 450 million years old. The orange coloration is natural and due to the oxidization of iron pyrite. This is a particularly nice specimen.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
