All Silurian Problematic Fossil Genera

Silurian Problematic Fossil Genera is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers fossil genera from the Silurian period whose biological identity is disputed or unknown, such as Rutgersella, a form genus of problematic fossils from the Early Silurian of Pennsylvania that resembles the Ediacaran fossil Dickinsonia and may have been a late surviving vendobiont. An entry belongs here when its own cited article describes a Silurian genus whose classification remains unsettled between competing interpretations. It excludes the problematic genera of the Proterozoic, Ediacaran, Cambrian, Ordovician, Devonian and later periods, which have groups of their own. The group lets a reader see which puzzling forms outlived the Ediacaran world.
