Chancelloria is a genus of early animals known from the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale, the Comley limestone,[3] the Wheeler Shale,[1] the Bright Angel Shale[4] and elsewhere. It was first described in 1920 by Charles Doolittle Walcott, who regarded them as one of the most primitive groups of sponges.[5] This appears unlikely, and it is currently placed in the enigmatic group Coeloscleritophora.[6] Template:Gpb abundance
