Rare Ordovician Starfish With Crinoid & Trilobite Fossils - Oklahoma
This is a really cool (and rare) association from the Bromide Formation of Oklahoma. There is a mostly complete fossil starfish (Urasterella sp), a partial starfish, a small crinoid (Hybocrinus) crown, and cranidium of a trilobite (Nanillaenus). The entire piece measures 5.3 x 3.8" with the starfish being 1.55" wide. This specimen came out of a pocket collected some time ago, and very little starfish material has been found outside of this pocket.
While the species of starfish was not described the occurence of these starfish was mentioned in the paper linked below.
