Morphological variation suggests that chitinozoans may be fossils of individual microorganisms rather than metazoan eggs

Chitinozoans are organic-walled microfossils widely recorded in Ordovician to Devonian (ca 485–359 Mya) marine sediments and extensively used in high-resolution biostratigraphy.
