This is a spectacular, 37" wide, mortality plate of brittle stars (Ophiura) along with three trilobites (Selenopeltis and an unidentified dalmanitid). It comes from the Kataoua Formation near Kaid Rami Morocco. The brittlestars and starfish don't appear to have any significant repair or restoration though there is some significant restoration to both of the Selenopeltis trilobites.

This piece makes for a spectacular display and we can include a metal display stand or add a backing and wall mounting hardware upon request.
