Jurassic Brittle Star IF-M-17-001Palaeocoma egertoni Early Jurassic (Pliensbachian) Eype, Dorset United Kingdom Here is a seldom seen member of the Ophiuroidea, or Brittlestars. This is a fine example of Palaeocoma egertoni. Coming from a classic UK location, this is a well detailed example. The very hard sandy limestone is difficult to work, but the preparator has done an exceptional job exposing this specimen from its nearly 200 million year old strata.
