Enigmatic primitive animal!!! - Conularia - Fossilised animal - Eoconularia loculata (Wiman, 1895) - 17 cm - 12 cm

Spectacular conularia, Eoconularia. Conulariids are an extinct group of animals related to corals and jellyfish (Phylum Cnidaria), known from fossils dating from the base of the Paleozoic to the Upper Triassic. They are almost exclusively known by their hard external structures (also called theca), which had a pyramidal shape and were composed of numerous lamellae.

This enigmatic animal is perfectly preserved. This specimen retains all the details of the animal in great detail and presents all its parts complete.

This specimen is extremely rare, completely intact even down to the tip of its attachment. The contrast between the fossil and the matrix is spectacular. The extraordinary preservation of the fossil allows for detailed observation of the delicate structures of the enigmatic animal. A specimen worthy of a museum.

Plastic supports included.

Eoconularia measurements: 42 x 15 mm

Plate 1: 404 grams; 17 x 12 x 1.5 cm
Plate 2: 18 g; 5.4 x 3.5 x 0.2 cm


The Fezouata formation sites, near the Moroccan city of Zagora, are providing a rich and diverse record of fossils with extraordinary preservation, often including soft tissues or soft-bodied animals. This type of preservation is similar, although later in time, to that of the famous Burgess Shale site (Canada).

These are fossils dating from between 480 and 472 million years ago. At that time, Morocco was an ocean and was located over the South Pole.
