Rare, 1" Cretaceous Starfish (Marocaster) - Morocco

This is a rare, fossil Marocaster coronatus (Blake and Reboul 2011) starfish from Taba, Morocco. It's Early Cretaceous in age, Barremian Stage. It's 1" wide and located on a solid, 4.8x4.8" piece of limestone. I recently acquired a small number of several types of starfish from this locality, and I have not previously seen them offered for sale.
