Starfish: rare fossil helps answer the mystery of how they evolved arms – The Conversation UK

Starfish are one of the most recognisable animals on our planet. Most people probably associate them with trips to the beach, walking in rock pools or swimming in the sea. They might appear simple creatures, but the way these animals distinctive biology evolved was, until recently, unknown.
