Its mineralogy and accretionary style has been compared with that of the Lophotrochozoans,[5] though its unfamiliar morphology suggests a stem-group or deeper affiliation to this group.[6] It grew in spurts, first emplacing an organic skeleton, then filling this in with aragonite.[7] See also{{portal|Paleontology|Precambrian|Prehistory of Africa}}
