Fossil Starfish & Brittle Star Fossils for Sale

Fossil starfish and brittle stars provide a rare glimpse into ancient marine ecosystems, preserved in remarkable detail within fine-grained limestone deposits. These authentic echinoderm fossils are primarily sourced from fossil-rich regions of Morocco and date to the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

Brittle stars (ophiuroids) are characterized by their slender, flexible arms and small central discs, while true starfish (asteroids) feature broader arms and a more robust body structure. Exceptional fossilization has captured many specimens in their natural resting positions, with delicate features preserved against contrasting stone matrices.

Fossil starfish and brittle stars are valued for educational collections, marine fossil displays, and invertebrate fossil assemblages, offering insight into the diversity and evolution of ancient echinoderms. Each specimen represents a genuine and naturally preserved piece of Earth’s prehistoric oceans.
