Taxonomic remark Soft bodied impression fossil initially described as a cnidarian, later suggested to have potential sponge affinity; Antcliffe et al., 2014 reject this suggestion and instead suggest affinity with various vendobiont organisms, although noting "validation of this suggestion would require detailed study of the taphonomy of these fossils."
