Talk:Tawuia

Wang et al. (2011) described the cell walls of Chuaria and show that it is most likely a multicellular eukaryotic alga. They note on page 1257, "The formation yields abundant leiospheroid acritarchs and macroscopic carbonaceous compression fossils such as Chuaria, Tawuia, Ellipsophysa, and Sinosabellidites", implying that Tawuia is valid.

Rule of priority
Tawuia was named in 1979 and Chuaria was named in 1899, so if they are synonyms, Chuaria by far has priority. J. Spencer (talk) 02:44, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
