Microschedia

The fossils are approximately discoid, and covered with a net-like pattern. Fine hair-like projections extend beyond the edge of this almost-flat, firm (but non-mineralized) "shell", which bears no trace of muscle scars.^[1]

Although there are problems with both brachiopod and cnidarian interpretations, no other animal group provides a good match for these fossils.^[1] An affinity with the stem-group brachiopod Mickwitzia is currently considered to be the most likely interpretation for this fossil.^[2]

The enigmatic Cambrian and Ordovician animals Heliomedusa, Marocella and Conchopeltis warrant comparison, although again large differences exist between these taxa.^[1]
