| description |
|
| The Urasterella is the isolated specimen. Starfish from this iconic site are exceedingly rare, and the age is approximately 460 million years old. This specimen was discovered in 1966 and resided in the late professor GORDON WALKDEN collection. The rock has an old repair through the middle. This locality has been long lost to history and any prospecting is prohibited thesedays. One for the serious collector. |
