Ostenocaris is a
compound eyes.[3]
Distribution
Ostenocaris lived during the
Lombardische Kieselkalk Formation. This formation is known for its good preservation, with fossils of annelids, fishes, and plants, representing a relatively depth shelf deposit, where Thylacocephalans are the most abundant organisms.[4]
A second species found in the Middle Jurassic (Callovian) La Voulte-sur-Rhône Lagerstätte of France, formerly known as Clausocaris ribeti was reclassified as second Ostenocaris species. This species lived in a bathyal zone environment, in a depth most probably exceeding 200 m.[5]
