The page needs copy editing and application of the wiki guide to layout, which I will do unless someone else gets to it first.--Likearock 14:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The opening sentence claiming Namacalathus is the first mineralized fossil needs confirmation.--Likearock 14:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please improve the layout! On the bold claim that Namacalthus is the first mineralised fossil, it has to compete with cloudina, but the bold claim comes first to highlight the notable feature. Eventually I will upload a picture that I have handdrawn as this fossil is quite unusual in appearance. GB 03:46, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most right you were! I've generalized the "mineralization" to both genera, and added both to the List of notable fossils. Likearock 16:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have replaced the sketch with a computer model. -Cetomedes —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cetomedes (talk • contribs) 06:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is an article from 2021 that talks about the soft tissue of Namacalathus being discovered in pyrite. A sketch reconstruction can also be seen. If someone more educated could integrate this into the article, it would be appreciated. XHolonX (talk) 03:28, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
