Brittle Star Fossil Plate Notebook and primers on potting andThese delicate and incredibly detailed fossils are breathtaking. Its somewhat rare to run across a fossil piece like this that truly ties a collection together. But what is a brittle star and why is it so cool? Were glad you asked. Brittle stars, serpent stars, or ophiuroids (which loosely translates into serpent tail) are echinoderms in the class Ophiuroidea that are closely related to starfish. They get the name from their wispy serpent like arms.
