What about the idea of ctenophores being descendants or at least related to petalonamids like Stromatoveris and Rangea ?

I want to know the secret of the rangeomorphs
but also proarticulates
Same, that period of time really interests me. I also wanna know more about the Francevillian biota and if there has actually been far more episodes of macroscopic life in our past. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francevillian_biota
They diverged from us before sponges, and their nervous system uses different neurotransmitters than us. For the record even insects uses the same neurotransmitters than us. They're unlike anything else with a nervous system. They're the closest thing to aliens on our planet.

How are they different? Please elaborate
You what now?
What do you think of the idea? I don't think petlonamids are related to ctenophores or stromatoveris or rangea
Why does the one on the left look like a space cootchie?
Ctenophores are usually more like a pouch, they don't have a through-gut. One hole for putting food in and what they don't digest out of.
cool
my new favorite jellyvid, thanks
That's all well and good, but are you capable of saying moron?
Are you?

nah, looks like just the standard combination of autism and snark

Honestly my theory for the rangeomorphs was that they were a branch of sponge that wasn't poriferous and instead relied on having a higher surface area for its choanocytes.
