The ten, long, slender, widely spaced arms devide above the fourth primibranch in two main heterotomous branches. These bear short and slender, densely branched or widely spaced, armlets. The long and slender anal sack is often (repeatedly) curved. The stem is round." References: Roemer, C. F. (1862—1864).

Synonyms of Urasterella asperula are Protasteracanthion primus and Roemeraster asperula. Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org. Description from Südkamp 2017, p. 127: "Urasterella is the most common asteroid in the Hunsrück Slate. The small disc is composed of a hexagonal central plate surrounded by five hexagonal radial plates, and a further ring of small plates. The small mouth is built of only triangular flat plates. The dorsal surface of the round narrow arms is composed of at least three rows of plates (radials, adradials and inferomarginals; the last were pushed upwards). All plates of the dorsal side bear paxillae with spines. The plates of the oral surface are arranged in two double-sided rows (ambulacrals ans adambulacrals). Mostly, only the large disc-shaped adambulacrals can be recognized, as the opposing subrectangular ambulacrals can only be seen by the wide-opened arm furrow. The adambulacrals bear a transverse ridge carrying long spines." Name derivation: Ur = old, Aster = star. Identified by oilshale. References: Roemer, C. F. (1864) Neue Asteriden und Crinoiden aus devonischem Dachschiefer von Bundenbach bei Birkenfeld. Palaeontographica 9:143-152 Südkamp, W. (2017) Life in the Devonian. Identification book Hunsrück Slate fossils. Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil. München 2017. ISBN978-3-89937-221-2.
