EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking fossil print showcases the well-preserved remains of Palaeocoma egertoni, an ancient brittle star discovered in the Jurassic and Lias formations of England. With a maximum diameter of approximately 8cm, this exquisite specimen is a representative of the Echinoderm genus, sharing similarities with modern-day brittle stars. Echinoderms, a phylum of invertebrates, are characterized by their radial symmetry and unique skeletal structures. The brittle stars, specifically the Ophiuroidea order, are known for their long, slender arms, which are covered in tiny, sharp spines. Palaeocoma egertoni, named after Richard Fortey, is an essential find for paleontologists and researchers studying the evolution of echinoderms. This fossil is estimated to be from the Early Jurassic period, around 183 million years ago, making it a valuable addition to the prehistoric record. The fossilized brittle star was discovered in England, a country rich in geological history and home to numerous significant fossil finds. The Lias and Jurassic formations, in particular, have yielded a wealth of information about the Mesozoic era and the diverse array of life that existed during that time. This fossil print not only serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity of the past but also highlights the intricate details and preservation capabilities of fossils. By studying fossils like Palaeocoma egertoni, we can gain valuable insights into the history of life on Earth and the evolutionary processes that have shaped our planet's ecosystems.
