Taxonomic remark Controversial cylindrical tubes from marine sediment, questionably interpreted as transported remains of an early land plant by e.g. Edwards et al., 2015; described as isotomously branching axes of essentially tubular construction, lacking vascular tissues. By contrast, Strother & Lenk, 1983 (Program with Abstracts, Joint Meeting of the Botanical Society of America and Canadian Botanical Association. American Journal of Botany, 70:80) suggest that Eohostimella is not a plant, but instead represents an animal burrow. Tomescu & Rothwell, 2006 state: "the marine depositional environment and the inconclusive morphology and anatomy have precluded unequivocal taxonomic assignment of Eohostimella." [details]
