Here is a wonderful specimen of a rare Silurian brittlestar. It is a large Protaster elongatus from the Rochester Shale of New York. Complete brittlestars are quite uncommon in the fossil record due to the delicate nature of the arms. Not only is this a rare fossil, it is also an extremely attractive specimen. The five thin arms are splayed out to create the beautiful display. The distinct structure of this unusual echinoderm is clearly defined. The fossil has very good color and contrast and is well centered on the rectangular plate of shale. This is a fabulous specimen of this rare fossil brittlestar from the Silurian of New York - one of the most displayable examples of this type we have ever seen.

This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
