Description

Impressive specimen with the natural association of 2 brittlestars of the genus Ophiura. It has an exceptional conservation. It does not have any type of restoration. It has been cleaned and prepared to unearth it from its natural carbonaceous matrix. This type of brittlestar is quite representative of the Ordovician of the South of Morocco.

Its orange colors come from the limonite (iron oxide) that is the product of the oxidation of the original pyrite that mineralized these fossils.
