The Fezouata Biota (Morocco) is a Burgess Shale-type (BST) assemblage that provides a wealth of information on Early Ordovician ecosystems. Much work has been done to compare the preservation of the Fezouata Biota to other BSTs. However, studies investigating preservation variations within the Fezouata Biota are rare. Here, we use probabilities to...
Early Palaeozoic sites with soft-tissue preservation are predominantly found in Cambrian rocks and tend to capture past tropical and temperate ecosystems. In this study, we describe the diversity and preservation of the Cabrières Biota, a newly discovered Early Ordovician Lagerstätte from Montagne Noire, southern France. The Cabrières Biota showcas...
Early developmental stages of euarthropods are exceptionally rare in the fossil record. This hampers our understanding of the biology, phylogeny, and development of this extremely diverse metazoan group. Herein, we use classical paleontological methods in combination with synchrotron X-ray microtomography to explore the morphology in ca. 480 millio...
Introduction
The Early Ordovician Fezouata Shale Formation (485–475Ma, Morocco) is a critical source of evidence for the unfolding Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE), the largest radiation in animal diversity during the Paleozoic. The Fezouata Shale preserves abundant remains of ancient marine organisms, including hundreds of specimen...
One of the most widespread and diverse animal groups of the Cambrian Explosion is a clade of stem lineage arthropods known as Radiodonta, which lived exclusively in the early Paleozoic. First reported in 1892 with Anomalocaris canadensis, radiodonts are now one of the best known early animal groups with excellent representation in the fossil record...
The Ordovician Fezouata Shale Formation of Morocco yields exceptionally-preserved remains of marine organisms and is therefore a huge source of information about the GOBE (Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event). This Tremadocian Lagerstätte is rich in arthropod diversity, especially in remains of radiodonts (informally known as anomalocaridids)...
