Taxonomic remark Emend. Vachard & Cózar, 2010. The taxonomic placement of this group has been extremely variable through time; individual genera and families have in the past been assigned to animals (such as sponges) and/or to extant algal phyla such as Chlorophyta and Rhodophyta; some genera and/or their containing groups have also been referred either to Foraminifera or to Cyanobacteria. Termier et al., 1977 described its component taxa as "pseudo-algae" and assigned them to a group of fossil sponges (Ischyrospongia), also including the sclerosponges and stromatoporoids. Vachard & Cózar, 2006 assigned them to algae (as "Plantae incertae sedis") but distinct from Chlorophyta and Rhodophyta (other workers such as Mamet also list them as calcareous algae), an opinion reiterated in Vachard, 2021 and other recent works. Meanwhile in 2010, Vachard & Cózar made a different case, that the group is some form of Protista comparable to (but distinct from) Foraminifera, and other workers have described them as Problematica (animal fossils of uncertain assignment), or individual representatives also as annelids or microbial structures (see Vachard & Cózar, 2010). In IRMNG at the present time, the decision has been made to place them under Algae incertae sedis, and accordingly, to adopt botanical terminations for the names of families and higher taxa, at least where such are available. From Vachard, 2021: "The Algospongia Termier et al. [treated therein as Algae incertae sedis] are subdivided into two orders: Moravamminales and Aougaliiales, six suborders (including Beresellina, Donezellina and Calcifoliina) and 17 families. However, some authors still consider that the Aougaliida are red algae, and Moravamminales green algae." [details]
