Fossil Starfish (Petraster?) & Edrioasteroid (Spinadiscus) - Morocco

This is a 1" wide, Ordovician aged starfish of the genus Petraster that's associated with a edrioasteroid of the species Spinadiscus lefebvrei. It comes from the Tioririne Formation near El Kaid Rami, Morocco. The specimen shows an amazing amount of detail and the natural, orange coloration is due to the oxidization of iron pyrite.

There is a repaired crack running through the rock and the fossils with some restoration along the repaired crack.
