Anabaritid

Anabaritid; Temporal range: Early Cambrian PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N (Possible Ediacarian Record*)
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	incertae sedis
Family:	†Anabaritidae; Missarzhevsky, 1974
Genera
	Aculeochrea; Anabarites; Cambrotubulus; Mariochrea; Selindeochrea; Lobiochrea(?); Tiksitheca;

The anabaritids or angustiochreids are enigmatic tubular, mineralizing organisms with a trifold symmetry (i.e., clover shape) known from their Lower Cambrian fossils. They may have represented cnidaria, but their affinity within the Metazoa is difficult to constrain.
