STARFISH
Age: 500 to 440 million years old
Size: 8.6 centimeters (3.4 in)
Location: Morocco
Formation: Hefalla Sandstone Formation
Period: Ordovician
This starfish fossil is about 500 million years old—a rare specimen whose
characteristics have been very well preserved. The starfish's characteristic five
arms have come down to the present time unchanged. There is no difference
between starfish that lived half a billion years ago and the starfish of today. Like
hundreds of thousands of other fossils, this one also shows that living things did
not evolve and have undergone no change for hundreds of millions of years.
