Extinction of Cloudina and Namacalathus at the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary in Oman
Biostratigraphic, carbon isotope, and U-Pb zircon geochronological data from the Ara Group of Oman indicate an abrupt last appearance of Cloudina and Namacalathus coincident with a large-magnitude, but short-lived negative excursion in the carbon isotope composition of seawater that is globally coincident with the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary.

Numerous issues remain concerning palaeobiology, palaeoecology, and biostratigraphy of Cloudina, an iconic tubular organism of the Ediacaran period. In this study, accumulations of Cloudina are described from the topmost bed of the Dengying Formation in the Baiguotang section of the eastern Three Gorges area, South China.

Skeletogenesis and asexual reproduction in the earliest biomineralizing animal Cloudina
Geology, 2005The tubular fossil Cloudina is emerging as an important Ediacaran index fossil. How- ever, its morphology, skeletogenesis, reproduction, and phylogenetic affinity have not been fully resolved. New material from the Dengying Formation of south China confirms that Cloudina tubes consist of eccentrically and sometimes deeply nested funnels and that the ...

ACloudina-like fossil with evidence of asexual reproduction from the lowest Cambrian, South China
AbstractThe earliest fossil record of animal biomineralization occurs in the latest Ediacaran Period (c. 550 Ma).CloudinaandSinotubulitesare two important tubular taxa among these earliest skeletal fossils. The evolutionary fate ofCloudina-type fossils across the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition, however, remains poorly understood.

A new species of Cloudina from the terminal Ediacaran of Spain
Precambrian Research, 2010Abstract The terminal Ediacaran genus Cloudina includes some of the earliest biomineralized fossils. It consists of a tube formed by stacked funnel-shaped elements, and is usually interpreted as the external skeleton of an early metazoan. Although a number of species have been described within this genus, their distinctiveness remains unclear and ...
