This very rare fossil is a beautifully preserved specimen of an Antedon. Commonly known as a feather star, this ancient marine animal is a type of crinoid, not a starfish. Dating back to the Cenomanian period, approximately 95 to 98 million years ago, this fossil offers a delicate glimpse into the life that thrived in the prehistoric seas.
Discovered in Lebanon, the fossil shows the intricate and branching arms of the Antedon, a structure it used to filter food from the water. The exquisite preservation of such a fragile organism is a testament to the unique geological conditions of the region where it was found.
