Taxonomic remark Ichnogenus (fossil coprolite). From Knaust, 2020: Potential producer(s). The tubular and coiled nature of Tubulaspira is unique and at first glance does not support an interpretation as coprolite. Nonetheless, very similar faecal strings are produced by members of the Tunicata, for example, the modern sea grapes Molgula manhattensis, and are described and figured by Kraeuter & Haven (1970)... thus it is likely that Tubulaspira represents the faecal strings of early Tunicata.
