Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| B. Runnegar et al. 2024 | Decimeter-scale lyre-shaped organism composed of unmineralized tubular modules arranged side-by-side like a palisade and separated by planar partitions; modules are wide near the proximal edge of the body, diminish in size gradually in the distal direction, and then separate laterally and taper to blunt points at their distal terminations; duplication of the tips of the modules has been observed in one case. |
