Here is a very good blastoid from the Permian. This is Deltoblastus ellipticus from the remote island of Timor. Blastoids first appeared in the fossil record during the Ordovician and became extinct at the end of the Permian. This is one of the last types in the long line of blastoid evolution. Permian blastoids are only found in a few places in the world and are highly collectible. This ''loose'' blastoid is very robust and exhibits fine detail. The wide ambulacra are easily seen - even the ''food grooves'' of the ambulacra are quite defined. This is a very nice example of a Permian blastoid from an exotic location.
