Hi guys got these for a steal on our favourite auction site, I’m fairly sure they’re from Eype, (English town on the West Dorset Coast)  as they match the preservation and are from an old British collection.

Any idea on species?

 

Central part is about 6mm on the first and 10 on the second

I think the current name is Palaeocoma milleri (formerly both Ophioderma and Palaeocoma egertoni.) I agree it looks like Eype Starfish Bed matrix and preservation.
