Pentaceraster?
sp.
Although
not as tall as most figured species of Pentaceraster, the five bumps
arranged in a pentagon middorsally and smaller bumps extending out onto the
arms seem characteristic of that genus. These also look similar in shape to
Bothriaster primigenius.
The larger ones were about 50 to 60mm in diameter.
