Unreviewed
Taxonomic remark First considered a fossil and then later a sedimentary or organo-sedimentary structure, however fossil nature re-asserted by Retallack & Broz, 2020. These authors state: The strict view of Arumberia banksi as discrete fossils comparable with erniettomorphs, advocated here, and by Glaessner and Walter (1975) and Bland (1984), implies that a variety of extensive microbial fabrics named as other species of Arumberia can no longer be regarded as congeneric. Microbially induced sedimentary structures are very different in thin section, simple laminae with limited crenulation and doming (Retallack 2016a), unlike the poorly preserved double walls with septae of Arumberia (Figure 8). Microbial fabrics are better assigned to species of the ichnogenera Neantia, Eoclathrus, and Rugalichnus (Häntzschel 1975; Seilacher 2007; Stimson et al. 2017). [details]
