Coalbrookdale Formation, earlier known as Wenlock Shale or Wenlock Shale Formation and also referred to as Herefordshire Lagerstätte in palaeontology, is a fossil-rich deposit (Konservat-Lagerstätte) in Powys and Herefordshire at the England–Wales border in UK. It belongs to the Wenlock Series of the Silurian Period within the Homerian Age (about 430 million years ago). It is known for its well-preserved fossils of various invertebrate animals many of which are in their three-dimensional structures. Some of the fossils are regarded as earliest evidences and evolutionary origin of some of the major groups of modern animals.Roderick Murchison first described the geological setting of Coalbrookdale Formation by which he gave the name Silurian in 1935, referring to the Silures, a Celtic tribe of Wales. It is assigned to the Wenlock Group in 1978 based on the age of crustacean fossils found around the region. Robert J. King of the University of Leicester discovered the first unique fossil in 1990. The fossil, an arthropod was reported in 1996 and described in 2000 as Offacolus kingi. Since then, over 30 species of arthropods, polychaete worms, sponges, mollusks, echinoderms, and lobopods have been described; with about 30 species in store yet to be identified.
