Paleoctenophora brasseli is a fossil of a marine species ctenophore [1], found in Devonian slate near the German town of Buntenbach in Hunsrück, Germany.
It is approximately 400 million years old and shows the eight comb rows seen in modern ctenophores.
It is named after the fossil collector Günther Brassel and first documented in Nature magazine in 1983. The only known example is now in the Bavarian State Collection.[2]
Another fossil species, Archaeocydippida hunsrueckiana, was found in the same rock formation.
