Taxonomic remark Original / permitted alternative spelling = Cryptozoön. Lee & Riding, 2020 re-analyse Cryptozoon and conclude that it represents an "interlayered consortium of keratose ('horny') sponge and microbial carbonate in roughly equal proportions" (elsewhere: "only partly stromatolitic"), the taxonomic implications of which are unclear.
