These unusual impressions of previously unknown soft-bodied sea animals on the surfaces of Argillite ( mudstone ) included coelenterates and other metazoa of the Ediacaran age ie . more than 560 million years old.

Although the role that endolithic Fungi play is important in coral reefs, it is often overlooked because much research is focused on the effects of coral bleaching as well as the relationships between coelenterate and endosymbiotic symbiodinia.

The documented phosphatized microfossils of algae, multicellular thallophytes ( seaweeds ), acritarchs, ciliates, and cyanophytes, besides adult sponges and adult cnidarians ( coelenterates; these may be early forms of tabulate corals ( tetracorallians ) ).

His lab first demonstrated that the green in vivo coelenterate bioluminescence occurs because of energy transfer from the luminescent molecule ( aequorin ), which alone emits blue light, to a secondary green emitter which they termed green fluorescent protein ( GFP ).

But when by chance they brushed against their neighbours in the briny, Coelenterates with stinging threads and Arthropods so spiny, By one weak spot betrayed, alas, they fell an easy prey Their soft preoral lobes in front could not be tucked away!

A year later, Fedonkin appointed such fossil animals as " Anfesta ", " Albumares " and " Tribrachidium " to the separate group Trilobozoa, populated by three-lobed, radially symmetric, coelenterate-grade animals that only superficially resemble cnidarians.

Algal zooxanthellae of the genus " Symbiodinium " derived from the food of these animals continue to photosynthesise inside the body and give rise to brown and green pigments . " Symbiodinium ", together with the nematocysts, are presumed to be derived from coelenterate prey.

The collection includes : a coelenterate-long North Atlantic Right Whale, a 1, 500-gallon aquarium, one female giant squid displayed in the center of the hall and a male displayed off to the side, an adult coelenterate, and a " Basilosaurus ".

Later, with the discovery of the closely related " Anfesta " and with their seeming affinities to " Tribrachidium ", Fedonkin appointed these animals to the Trilobozoa, an extinct group of the tri-radially symmetrical coelenterate-like animals that only superficially resembled cnidarians.
