Denoting Retallack's claims as questionable?

[edit]

Why are Gregory Retallack's claims still given merit? There is no evidence of hyphae or fungal affinity for these fossils, making his "Ediacaran Lichen" hypothesis highly dubious, at best. 74.96.143.21 (talk) 17:40, 24 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Because this article is created by Retallack. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 02:31, 11 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
That... sounds like a conflict of interest on G.J. Retallack's part. While I moreso agree that this organism was probably an animal, based upon J. J. Sepkoski's interpretation, I will agree with Retallack that the organism was a late-surviving Petalonam.
The Ediacaran-type preservation is sound and makes sense, but I do not understand where the "rhizoid" claim came from. 108.18.192.138 (talk) 18:15, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
