A classification and phylogeny of post-Palaeozoic sea stars (Asteroidea: Echinodermata)

Daniel B. Blake
- 01 Apr 1987 - 
TL;DR: A revised classification and phylogeny at the family level and above are presented for post-Palaeozoic sea stars, with relatively greater emphasis on morphology and arrangement of ossicles and ossicular systems.

Phylogeny and classification of the Asteroidea (Echinodermata)

Andrew S. Gale
- 01 Feb 1987 - 
TL;DR: Post-Palaeozoic asteroids are deduced to have lacked suckered tube feet and were presumably unable to evert the stomach; hence they were precluded from life on hard substrates and extraoral feeding on epifaunal organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Skeletal homologies, phylogeny and classification of the earliest asterozoan echinoderms

Juliette Dean Shackleton
- 01 Mar 2005 - 
TL;DR: Results indicate that inferomarginal ossicles of asteroids, somasteroids and the primitive ophiuroid Phragmactis are likely to be homologous with edrioasteroid marginals, and a revised classification for stem‐group asterozoans is proposed based on well‐supported clades with the new taxon Eopentaroida erected.

Molecular phylogeny of the Valvatacea (Asteroidea: Echinodermata)

Christopher L. Mah, +1 more
- 01 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: A comprehensively sampled, three-gene molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Valvatacea is presented, suggesting that Antarctic valvataceans may be derived from sister taxa in adjacent regions.

A new class of Echinodermata from New Zealand

Alan N. Baker, +2 more
- 26 Jun 1986 - 
TL;DR: During examination of echinoderms from sunken wood collected from depths between 1,057 and 1,208 m off the New Zealand coast, nine specimens of a small flattened discoidal invertebrate are discovered that represent the first new class of living echinoderm to be described since 1821.
