User:Debivort removed a statement that I put in "or fakes planted by God to lure those with little faith into error". I am trying to find the reference where it came from. It can be found in [1] but this is not a reliable souce. Ediacara biota claims this idea came from, "The First Named Ediacaran Body Fossil, Aspidella terranovica" which was the major source of my information for the start of the article.

Thanks for drawing my attention back to this. I mis-understood the meaning, but it was clarified in the other article. I'm going to restore it with a tweak. de Bivort 21:31, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I know that the Ediacara biota cite Gehling et al. (2000) as reference that it was interpreted as "tricks played by a malicious God to promote unbelief", but I cannot find that in article, but if I have overlooked it would be nice if somebody could give me the exact citation with pagenummer. If I'm right it should be erased again. --Jadeginkgo (talk) 17:07, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Preservation should be Mentioned

[edit]

Seeing as how many species which are considered to be Aspidella, it would be a good thing to mention how sometimes Aspidella specimens deform (Which is the case for Triforillonia).
