Marocella is a conical shelly fossil of uncertain affinity (probably a mollusc) known from Cambrian strata of Europe, Morocco, Australia and Antarctica. Morphology Limpet-like Marocella is a low conical shell with concentric ridges that grew to a couple of centimetres in length. Affinity Marocella is thought to be a mollusc, although its position within this phylum is undetermined. Relationship to the halkieriids has also been considered. Ecology Some specimens show evidence of repairing damage caused by predators. It probably moved around on the sea floor. It was geographically widespread. Distribution Fossils of Marocella have been found in: Shackleton Limestone, Antarctica Mernmerna Formation and Parara Limestone, Australia Jbel Wawrmast Formation, Morocco Sparagmite Formation, Norway Láncara Formation, Spain References Cambrian animals Prehistoric mollusc genera Protostome enigmatic taxa Fossils of Antarctica Fossils of Australia Cambrian animals of Africa Fossils of Morocco Cambrian animals of Europe Cambrian Norway Fossils of Norway Fossils of Spain Fossil taxa described in 1986 Cambrian genus extinctions
