2.7" Rare, Ordovician Starfish (Urasterella) Fossil - Oklahoma

This is a very rare, 2.7" wide Middle Ordovician, fossil starfish (Urasterella sp) from the Bromide Formation of Oklahoma. It is part of a pocket that was collected some time ago (I believe decades) and very little starfish material has been recovered outside of this pocket. This starfish was found fragmented, has been pieced back together and remounted on the rock.

While the species was not described the occurrence of these starfish was mentioned in the paper linked below.
