Abstract

This project aims to study a number of recently discovered soft-bodied problematic organisms and arthropods from the Late Ordovician of south-eastern Morocco together with some of their relatives from other places. These fossils are of immense (palaeo)biological significance, not only because they can shed more light on the early evolution of the Metazoa, but also because of their exceptional preservation.
