Rare, Plate of Cretaceous Starfish (Marocaster) - Morocco

This is a piece of limestone containing a pair of well preserved Marocaster coronatus (Blake and Reboul 2011) starfish from Taba, Morocco. It's Early Cretaceous in age, Barremian Stage . The larger starfish is .9" wide and the smaller is .7" wide on a 9x3" 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.
