A new brittle star from the early Carboniferous of Poland and its implications on Paleozoic modern-type ophiuroid systematics
The fossil record of Paleozoic ophiuroids includes a number of forms which share striking similarities with modern relatives in terms of skeletal morphology. These so called modern-type Paleozoic ophiuroids yield an enormous potential for a better understanding of ophiuroid evolution, yet the scarci...
