Manuel Quiring

Two beautiful fossilized plates with brittle star. The brittle stars are about 13 x 9 cm. The complete plates measure 16 x 12.5cm and 15 x 12cm and are 0,9cm and 0.5cm thick. Brittle stars are echinoderms that resemble starfish, but are actually more closely related to sea urchins. They live in mud and sand bottoms, where they burrow too. With their arms they catch prey on the seabed. Taken from my last trip to Morocco in 2015. Beautiful decorative pieces

Ordovician (450 mio), Kaid Errami, Sahara, Morocco
