Starfish and Cornute
Early Ordovician (Arenigian)
Upper Fezouata Formation
Zagora, Draa Valley
Morocco

The Fezouata Formation is celebrated for its exceptional preservation of both hard-bodied and soft-bodied organisms, making it one of the world’s most important windows into early Paleozoic life. Fossils such as this highlight the remarkable diversity of early echinoderms that inhabited the ancient seafloor over 470 million years ago.
