Article Synopsis
- Evidence of interspecific interactions in fossils is rare but provides important clues about ancient ecosystems, mainly found in Cambrian sites.
- A newly discovered fossil from the Lower Fezouata Shale in Morocco reveals an orthocone cephalopod covered with pterobranch hemichordates, showcasing a unique cross-phylum interaction.
- The findings suggest that the scarcity of Paleozoic rhabdopleurid epibionts was likely due to their need for hard surfaces to settle on, while also indicating a long-standing evolutionary relationship between pterobranchs and mollusks.
