Some observations on Cloudina, a terminal Proterozoic index fossil from Namibia
Journal of African Earth Sciences, 2001An overview is provided of past and present concepts about Cloudina, a Neoproterozoic tube-building organism, significant for its early use of biomineralisation. In the past, Cloudina tubes from the Nama limestones of Namibia have had to be studied in thin- or polished sections, but some observations are reported here on silicified tubes extracted ...

Taxonomy of the late Ediacaran index fossil Cloudina and a new similar taxon from South China
Precambrian Research, 2017Abstract Cloudina is a late Ediacaran tubular fossil known from almost every continent. It is typically a mm- to cm-sized conical tube consisting of multiple, nested, funnel-shaped elements, forming the diagnostic “funnel-in-funnel” tube construction.

Abstract The genus Cloudina Germs, 1972 includes seven species restricted to Ediacaran strata: 1. Cloudina lucianoi (Beurlen and Sommer, 1957) (Tamengo Formation, Brazil); 2. Cloudina hartmanae Germs, 1972 (Nama Group, Namibia); 3. Cloudina riemkeae Germs, 1972 (Nama Group, Namibia; 4.

Abstract Cloudina are important Ediacaran index fossils, as they have a consistent terminal Neoproterozoic age and a worldwide distribution. The morphology of Cloudina has been reconstructed primarily on the basis of three-dimensionally preserved Chinese and Spanish specimens, but questions remain surrounding their phylogenetic placement ...

New materials reveal Shaanxilithes as a Cloudina-like organism of the late Ediacaran
Precambrian Research, 2021Abstract Shaanxilithes is a potential index fossil of late Ediacaran for its cosmopolitan occurrences and narrow stratigraphic range. However, its morphology and taxonomy has long been controversial and its biological affinities remain problematic, with interpretations ranging from pogonophorans, sedimentary structures, trace fossils, algae, to ...

Abstract The Navalpino anticline of the Central Iberian Zone provides a unique case study of well-exposed late Ediacaran reefs. Drone images show their spatial arrangement as tens of shelly-microbial patch, biohermal and complex reefs encased in a dominantly shaly succession.

The late Ediacaran witnessed rapid turnover of organisms. As one of the earliest biomineralizing animal fossils，Cloudina has greatimplication on the evolution of complex macroscopic organisms . With a relatively stable and wide distribution, Cloudina has become one of the most important indicator fossils of the late Ediacaran. Located in the

With special tubular and skeletal bauplan, Ediacaran tubular fossils are one unique metazoan group that has irreplaceable significance for our understanding of the early metazoan evoution. However, their biological affinities have long been disputed because of their limited morphological features and ambiguous primary composition.
