Palaeocoma is an extinct genus of brittle stars that lived during the Middle Triassic to Early Jurassic Periods. Its fossils have been found in Europe.

Distribution

The genus Palaeocoma was revised by Hess (1960, 1962) and is known from the Middle Triassic (Ladinian) to the Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) with occurrences reported from the United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Serbia and Montenegro.

Type species

Palaeocoma milleri (Phillips, 1829) [= P. gaveyi and P. egertoni according to Jaselli (2015, p. 192)], an Early Jurassic (Sinemurian and Pliensbachian) species recorded from France, Germany, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and Lombardy in Italy.
