Fossil Carpoid - 3.61"
First appearing around 500 million years ago, Carpoids are an unusual product of the Cambrian Explosion. Instead of the neat, symmetrical forms found in their starfish cousins, Carpoids spawned off in wildly divergent asymmetrical forms, complicating efforts to pin down where in evolution's story they fall.
This specimen is a 3.61" Carpoid fossil from Morocco's Ktaoua Formation. It dates back 440,000,000 years to the Ordovician Period and comes complete with a certificate of authenticity.
