|---|---|---|
| M. D. Brasier et al. 2012 | Frond unipolar, comprising two rows of irregularly spaced primary branches arranged along a furled central axis, commonly forming a linear suture (Figs 4C–D and 8H). Inflation of first-order branches is moderate with no clear direction, while that of second-order branches is mainly medial. Alignments of first-order branches are subparallel. Those of second- and third-order branches within a single specimen are more irregular and range gradually or switch abruptly from subparallel to distinctly radiate. Mature first- to third-order branches have furled margins, with rangeomorph elements that are rotated and undisplayed. A basal disc is sometimes preserved. |
