Taxonomic remark Phosphatic tubes, listed as Inc. sed. in Neave; "probably of annelid affinities" according to Mason & Yochelson, 1985; assigned to Conulariida (Cnidaria) in Sepkoski, "Algae?" in ING. Latest discussion, by Van Iten et al., 2019, places this genus in Cnidaria, incertae sedis in subphylum Medusozoa, a conclusion supported by Fu et al., 2024. [details]
