Gastreochrea viva is a species of enigmatic tubular organism from the Ediacaran that bared a slight resembalance to the Anabartids (Lower Cambrian of age) which also bared a similar tube-like structure.[1] It was first described by Valkov in 1982.[2] It is similar to and may be confused with Mariochrea sinuosa.[2]
Affinity
[edit]J.J. Sepkoski proposed that gastreochrea should be considered as a Trilobozoan. However, it has also been proposed to being a Triradialomorph.[3][4]
