The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Birth and early evolution of metazoans (2014, methodology): “According to the SSF dataset of Li et al. (2007), 19 genera occur in the first biozone, whereas 140 in the second to fourth biozones, and 50 in the fifth biozone.”
Ecological drivers of the Ediacaran-Cambrian diversification of Metazoa (2012, unknown): “The second database is a generic compendium of ranges of all marine metazoa from the early Cambrian of South China, including the Chengjiang biota (Li et al. 2007 ).”
Origin and early diversification of the phylum Cnidaria Verrill: major developments in the analysis of the taxon's Proterozoic–Cambrian history (2014, background): “These fossils, generally referred to as Olivooides multisulcatus or Punctatus emeiensis, exhibit a pentaradial symmetry, although similar fossils from the same formation have been described as tetramerous (viz Quadrapyrgites; cf. Li et al. 2007; Liu et al. 2009).”
