The feather-shaped Plumalina Hall, 1858
Plumalina has been compared to plants, graptolites, and octocorals. Some interpretations have proposed affinities
among hydrozoans based on colony form and the presence of putative polyp bases.
from the Jbel Bou Zeroual locality, north of Zagora, Upper Fezouata Shale, middle Floian.
The Upper and Lower Fezouata Formations of Morocco are Burgess shale-type deposits dating to the Early Ordovician.
Fossils of the Fezouata Formation, which are usually squashed flat (although some do retain some degree of their original three-dimensionality) are often coated with a dusting of pyrite, and tin; this aspect of the fossil preservation is very similar to that at Chengjiang.Non-mineralized appendages are often preserved.
In respect of the 'exceptional fossil preservation bridging the Cambrian Explosion and the Great Ordovician Biodiversification', the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) included the 'Ordovician Fezouata Shale Fossil Site at Jbeltizagzaouine' in its assemblage of 100 'geological heritage sites' around the world in a listing published in October 2022.
