The Late Ordovician Tafilalt Biota, Anti-Atlas, Morocco: a high-latitude perspective on the GOBE

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The extensive, predominantly siliciclastic deposits of the Upper Ordovician of the Tafilalt have long been the subject of scientific investigation. In the past 25 years, intensified collecting for commercial purposes has resulted in the discovery of several exceptionally-preserved faunas (Konservat-Lagerstätten) in the Tafilalt region, preserving a range of non-biomineralized and soft-bodied organisms. The preservation of these fossils in the coarse clastic sediments of the Tafilalt is surprising, and in the case of soft-bodied organisms, remarkably similar to the preservational mode of typical Ediacaran biotas. These relatively recent discoveries have increased the scientific significance of the Tafilalt Biota, providing an unparalleled insight into the composition and temporal evolution of the shallow, open-marine ecosystems and their denizens during the later stages of the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event. At least nine different phyla, in addition to several soft-bodied problematica are represented in the Tafilalt. While the highly diverse and remarkably well-preserved echinoderm and euarthropod faunas are most emblematic for the Tafilalt Biota, further studies have revealed a relatively high diversity of molluscs and brachiopods. Among soft-bodied fossils, the problematic paropsonemid eldonids are iconic for the Tafilalt and stand out both through their abundance, and their wide temporal and geographical range throughout the area.
