Putative sponge biomarkers in unicellular Rhizaria question an early rise of animals
Abstract
The dawn of animals remains one of the most mysterious milestones in the evolution of life. The fossil lipids 24-isopropylcholestane and 26-methylstigmastane are considered diagnostic for demosponges—arguably the oldest group of living animals. The widespread occurrence and high relative abundance of these biomarkers in Ediacaran sediments from 635–541 million years (Myr) ago have been viewed as evidence for the rise of animals to ecological...
