}}Mobergella is a millimetric Lower Cambrian shelly fossil of unknown affinity, usually preserved in phosphate and particularly well known from Swedish strata, where it is diagnostic of lowermost Cambrian rocks.[1] Originally interpreted as a monoplacophoran,[1] the circular, cap-shaped shell resembles a hyolith operculum, with concentric rings on its upper surface, and seven pairs of internal muscle scars. It is never found in association with a conch, and its affinity therefore remains undetermined.[1] Nevertheless, its heavy musculature does seem to indicate that it functioned as an operculum.[2]

Some specimens bear evidence of healed injuries.[3]

It's also been compared to the Kirengellids, which are probably brachiopods.[4]

Occurrence

The genus is unique to Lower Cambrian strata and has been found throughout the northern hemisphere.[5]
