Remarkable insights into the paleoecology of the Avalonian Ediacaran macrobiota (2015, unknown): “These fossils, found globally in sedimentary successions ~580–541Ma (Fedonkin et al., 2007), have long been considered to record the impressions of early animals, including bilaterians (e.”
Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history (2015, background): “Kimberella preserves several features that demonstrate it is a bilateral metazoan with an anterior-posterior axis (Fedonkin and Waggoner, 1997; Fedonkin et al., 2007; Ivantsov, 2009, 2010).”
Origin and early diversification of the phylum Cnidaria Verrill: major developments in the analysis of the taxon's Proterozoic–Cambrian history (2014, background): “…strata of north-western Russia (White Sea region) has been interpreted both as a medusa and as a solitary anemone-like polyp (Wade 1972; see also Fedonkin et al. 2007), but except for an apparent radial symmetry we see no reason to interpret it as a cnidarian, much less as a member or close…”
