Plate Of Rare Cretaceous Starfish (Betelgeusia & Marocaster) - Morocco
This is a plate of rare Early Cretaceous starfish fossils from Taba, Morocco. There is a complete Marocaster coronatus which is about .8" wide and several partial Betelgeusia. There is a repaired crack running through the plate. I recently received a small number of these starfish plates from Morocco and I have not previously seen them offered for sale.
