Early Ordovician (Arenigian)

The Fezouata Formation records marine life from a time shortly after the Cambrian Period, preserving both hard-shelled and soft-bodied organisms in fine-grained sediment. Arthropods from this deposit represent early marine forms living on or near the seafloor in shallow ocean environments.
