8.4" Plate Of Rare Cretaceous Starfish (Betelgeusia) - Morocco

This is a plate of rare and highly detailed Early Cretaceous starfish fossils from Morocco. These starfish were described as Betelgeusia orientalis back in 2011, and this is the first time I've seen them offered for sale. They are rare to find complete and the ones on this plate are large, up to about 3.5" wide.
