EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient starfish, Platanaster ordovicus, an echinoid from the Ordovician period of the Paleozoic Era. Starfish, or sea stars as they are commonly known, are invertebrates characterized by their distinctive five-fold symmetry and the ability to move across the ocean floor using their elongated, tube-like feet. Platanaster ordovicus, a member of the Asteroidea class within the Echinodermata phylum, was a bottom-dwelling creature that inhabited the seas during the Ordovician age, around 485 to 443 million years ago. Its body shape resembled a flattened disk, with five arms extending outward from the center. The arms were covered in small, calcareous plates, providing protection against predators. The intricate details of Platanaster ordovicus' body are beautifully captured in this print, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of this prehistoric marine invertebrate. Its five-fold symmetry, a common trait among starfish, is evident in the arrangement of its arms and the pattern of its plates. Despite their ancient origins, starfish continue to fascinate us with their unique features and adaptations. Platanaster ordovicus serves as a reminder of the rich diversity of life that has existed on Earth throughout the Phanerozoic Con, the most recent geological epoch characterized by the presence of abundant fossilized remains. This print is not only a stunning work of art but also a window into the prehistoric world, inviting us to explore the wonders of the natural world and the fascinating creatures that have come before us.
