Starfish Fossils

Starfish Fossils – Starfish or sea stars are star-shaped echinoderms belonging to the class Asteroidea. “Starfish” is also applied to ophiuroids, which is incorrect.  Those should be referred to as brittle stars or “basket stars”.

The fossil record for starfish is ancient, dating back to the Ordovician around 450 million years ago.  Starfish fossils are rare, as starfish tend to disintegrate after death.  Only the ossicles and spines of the animal are likely to be preserved, making remains hard to locate.
