Moyeria is a genus of fossils interpreted as euglenids, a type of microbial eukaryotes characterized for their cells surrounded by a pellicle composed of proteinaceous strips. Described in 1973, the genus contains two species, M. uticana and M. cabottii, that fossilized from the Middle Ordovician to the Silurian.
