 Check out the latest installment of [PBS Eons](https://www.pbs.org/show/eons/) addressing the evolution of the earliest echinoderms, more specifically how starfish got their arms! We are particularly excited as the cover artwork, as well as a good chunk of the video, features our recent work on the early Ordovician somasteroid (stem-group asterozoan) *Cantabrigiaster fezouataensis*, from the Fezouata biota in Morocco. You can check out the original publication in *Biology Letters* describing this fascinating animal [HERE](https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsbl.2020.0809), and the YouTube video below.
