The French zoologist and anatomist Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville coined the term "Paleontology" in 1822, becoming a member of the French Academy of Sciences in 1825.

He is credited with taxonomically identifying starfish in 1830.

Carl Linnaeus had identified the "crown-of-thorns starfish" (Acanthaster planci) in 1758.

Some deep-sea starfish were identified by Edmond Perrier in the 1880s.
