Taxonomic remark Treated as Problematica (=Animalia incertae sedis) at this time. From Pang et al., 2017: Yangtziramulus zhangi was interpreted as a benthic organism consists of a central axis and biserially arranged tubes, each with two vertical side walls, a floor, a roof, and an open distal end. ... the new material suggests that the organisms consist of solid branches (sometimes with connecting bars), rather than open tubes/quilts. The phylogenetic affinities of these fossils remain unconstrained, although they are similar in some respects to encrusting algae, fungi, lichens, and slime molds. (Listed as Erniettomorpha in Retallack, 2016). [details]
