Morania is a genus of cyanobacterium preserved as carbonaceous films in the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale; it is present throughout the shale. It has been considered by some to represent a blue-green alga. It is filamentous, forms sheets, and resembles the modern cyanobacterium Nostoc. It would have had a role in binding the sediment, and would have been a food source for such organisms as Odontogriphus and Wiwaxia. Morania is also a Silurian genus of gastropod.
