Double Ophiura Brittle Star Fossil - Morocco
Here is a nice double starfish fossil from the Ordovician aged Kataoua formation in Morocco. This is a natural association and neither specimen appears to have any restoration work done to it. You can see great detail preserved in the arms of each specimen.
Note: You have to be careful when purchasing the starfish fossils from Morocco as I've seen many specimens simply painted onto the rock and passed off as being real.
