In this paper, we describe a new species, Webbyites felix sp. nov., from the Early Ordovician Fezouata Konservat-Lagerstätte of Morocco. One specimen preserves some soft-tissue zooid remains. The presence of a stolon system in the new species and the type species indicates that Webbyites is a benthic graptolite. Webbyites lacks bithecae; thus, it is not a dendroid graptolite.engjournal article1736-7557https://doi.org/10.3176/earth.2023.24open access563.719Fezouata BiotaFossil-LagerstättenGraptoliteMoroccoOrdovicianPaleontología2416.02 Paleontología de Los Invertebrados
