Description
This is an impressive tiny nicely preserved Ophiura brittle star (Ordovician aged) from Kataoua geological Formation of South Morocco. The plate is approximately 10,5x6,5x2cm and contain a complete juvenile brittle star fossil. The detail on this piece is wonderful. 
 
Regarding restorations or repairs: The specimen has not undergone any restoration. Only the matrix was broken and has been glued and filled. However, although the fracture runs through the specimen, it has not been repaired (filled). The level of detail and natural coloration is simply outstanding.
