Taxonomic note
Probably of inorganic origin (and thus invalid, cf. Hofmann & Jackson 1987, Schopf & Klein 1992), although some Chinese sources still treat the genus as of fossil eukaryotes (cf. Compilation Group 1976, Song & al. 2017). Retained here until further developments clarify its status. - (26 April 2023) - E.A. Molinari Novoa
