Rebuilding Earth’s first skeletal animals: the original morphology of Corumbella (Ediacaran, Brazil)

Rebuilding Earth’s first skeletal animals: the original morphology of Corumbella (Ediacaran, Brazil)

The evolutionary onset of animal biomineralization in the late Ediacaran (ca 555–538 Ma) is marked by the global appearance of enigmatic tubular fossils with unresolved phylogenetic relationships. Among these, Corumbella werneri from the Tamengo Formation (Corumbá Group, Brazil) has been variously i...
