Fossil Brittle Star - SOLD 6.57" Ophiurida dimetrodon and of course the dinosaursBrittle Stars are one of the oldest groups of animals in the fossil record. Their whip like arms and star shaped bodies have remained relatively unchanged through hundreds of millions of years, which is a testament to their evolutionary success.
