we got some time ago some really nice trilobites from fezouata-biota in morocco. I am not very familiar with trilobites and use the famous book from Patrice Lebrun to determinate and got today some new great infos from Scott (Piranha). So, I hope I am right with my name for trilobite nr. 1: Foulonia What do you think? It´s a small one, including spines less than 2 cm

Acquired one in 2018, which I believe it should be a Calvapilosa kroegeri, or the 'armored worm'. Any ideas on this ID? Related link: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/feb/06/newly-discovered-slug-looks-like-a-hairy-toe-and-could-reveal-the-ancestry-of-molluscs-calvapiloa-kroegeri

Is this Fezouata hurdiid fake?
JUAN EMMANUEL posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello guys, so this specimen came up on the internet for sale. It is apparently a Aegirocassis benmoulai from the one and only Fezouata formation in the Draa Valley in Morocco. I am not trained with dealing with these types of specimens but what are the chances it is the real deal/thing??- 1 reply

Hello, friends. Can anyone give me a helping hand identifying this, please? Not the Asaphellus trilobite, but the other object. This is Moroccan Fezouata, so Early Ordovician. Notice the thoracic segments curve the opposite way to most trilobites. It is convex on both sides, though seemingly a bit flattened. It has a 'flange' on one side of the anterior and presumably had one on the other side. Bit of a trilo? Aglaspid? Xiphosurid? Some sort of echinoderm? Any guesses most welcome. Thank you very much. Scale here in inches : Removed a little more matrix. Scale here in cm. This shows the trilobite better! Thanks again. Cheers, Adam and Tidgy.

Thelxiope like creature from Fezouata Shale, described by Peter Van Roy 2013. It looks very similar to the Burgess one: Thelxiope palaeothalassia LINK: https://burgess-shale.rom.on.ca/en/fossil-gallery/view-species.php?id=123

YXWYX posted a topic in Member Collections
Here presents probably the first complete lobopodian fossil from Fezouata Formation, it is under describing at the moment. Outline looks very similar to Luolishania + Diania from Chengjiang Biota. Truly amazing creature.-

Here presents three rare arthropods acquired from Fezouata Shale: Brachyaglaspis singularis gen. et sp. nov., which is described in 2015 for the first time. The paper is: 'A new aglaspidid euarthropod with a six-segmented trunk from the Lower Ordovician Fezouata Konservat-Lagerstätte, Morocco'. The first shows pretty nice outline of this aglaspidid, the third one is quite crappy...Fourth picture is the reconstruction of this type.

I am hoping someone on the forum might be familiar with Ordovician aged fossils from Fezouata. I believe this might be a large hyolithid but am not sure.

I don't know whether I should have put this in the ID section instead, as I'm looking for some info and for help in sorting out what I've got, but not necessarily IDs per se. But it's also a sort of show-and-tell, so here goes. The info I'm trying to sort out has to do with the locations and formation/stages of some of the items. To help, I'll post the Ordovician correlation chart from the ICS and this other one from a paper on the Valongo (Portugal) site recently posted in the Documents section, showing the known soft-bodied sites of the Ordovician... The latter seems a little too tidy, with the deposits fitting exactly within the given stages, but maybe it will be of some help:
