New fossil assemblages from the Early Ordovician Fezouata Biota
The Fezouata Biota (Morocco) is a unique Early Ordovician fossil assemblage. The discovery of this biota revolutionized our understanding of Earth’s early animal diversifications—the Cambrian Explosion and the Ordovician Radiation—by suggesting an evolutionary continuum between both events. Herein, we describe Taichoute, a new fossil locality from the Fezouata Shale. This...Saleh, Farid ; Vaucher, Romain ; Vidal, Muriel ; Hariri, Khadija El ; Laibl, Lukáš …

Storm-induced community Dynamics in the Fezouata Biota (Lower Ordovician, Morocco)
In the Central Anti-Atlas (Morocco), the lower part of the Fezouata Shale has yielded locally abundant remains of soft-bodied to lightly sclerotized taxa, occurring in low diversity assemblages characterized by strong spatial and taxonomic heterogeneities, and frequently, by the occurrence of small-sized individuals. Size frequency analyses of Celdobolus sp., Wosekella...Saleh, Farid ; Candela, Yves ; Harper, David A T ; Polechová, Marika ; Lefebvre, Bertrand …

Notes on the brachiopod species from the Silurian of the Pentland Hills described by Lamont (1978)
Four Silurian brachiopod species from the Pentland Hills, previously ignored or designated nomina dubia, require some recognition on the basis of material identified in the collections of the National Museum of Scotland and a closer scrutiny of the published work with respect to the guidelines of the International Commission of...Candela, Yves ; Harper, David A T ; Crighton, William R B
