Taxonomic remark A tube-shaped fossil from the Proterozoic eon, considered a possible early eukaryote (described as fossil alga); other workers have suggested it may represent a giant bacterium or a bacterial colony. Hoffmann, 1994 lists Helminthoidichnites Fitch, 1849 as a synonym, in error (only one species previously assigned to that genus has been moved to Grypania). [details]
