Tawuia (original) (raw)

Tawuia is a millimetric disc-shaped, most likely multicellular macrofossil from the Neoproterozoic. It is considered to be synonymous with Chuaria and Longfengshania, which, in turn, are thought to represent different life stages of the same organism. Tawuia describes a more sausage- or crescent-shaped fossil; Chuaria refers to more discoial instances. Chuaria is multicellular.
