AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A dried specimen of a starfish, as stated by the supplier, from the Pacific coast of British Columbia, Canada. With a diameter of about 120 mm, it features a characteristic radial structure and evocative brown-orange tones. The identification is compatible with Pycnopodia helianthoides, the spectacular sunflower star, known for its numerous arms and its role as a predator in North Pacific ecosystems. An interesting natural history curiosity, ideal for natural history collections and Wunderkammer. The species identification should be considered probable, not definitive.
