Although much effort has been put into attempts to unravel the Mesozoic ophiuroid fossil record, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the geological history of family-level compositions of brittle star assemblages. Here, we describe new ophiuroid material from the Late Oxfordian Bure Member as exposed in a construction site along the federal Highway A16 (Transjurane Highway) near Boncourt–Queue au Loup (Swiss Jura Mountains). The remains are exceptionally well preserved and partially…

Two new species of ophiuroid are described from the Lower Oligocene of the Mainz Basin, based on microfossils extracted from the sieving residues of bulk sediment samples from a flush drill in Nierstein, Rhineland-Palatinate, which suggests deep sublittoral to shallow bathyal palaeodepths for the Niersteins Basin.

The first cladistic analysis of the Ophiacanthidae including all extant genera suggests L. gracilispina holds a basal, but not the basalmost, position within the family, forming a sister group with the extant Ophiomedea and Ophiopristis to the other ophiotominids except for Ophiologimus.
