Brittle star fossil
Brittlestar (Ophioderma egertoni) fossil discovered by British paleontologist Mary Anning (1799-1847). A brittle star is a marine invertebrate that is related to starfish. It has five flexible arms radiating from a central disc-shaped body, which means that unlike starfish it can use its arms to walk on the sea floor.
