Hamptonia is an extinct genus of sea sponge known from the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale and the Lower Ordovician Fezouata formation.[6] It was first described in 1920 by Charles Doolittle Walcott.[7] 48 specimens of Hamptonia are known from the Greater Phyllopod bed, where they comprise < 0.1% of the community.[8]
