[edit] Concerning V's Deuterostome Heritage

In the following article the authors describe Skeemella clavula from the Middle Cambrian Pierson Cove Formation of the Drum Mountains of Utah. It is similar to vetulicolians but also has arthropod characteristics, which they claim casts new doubt on the deuterostome affinity of vetulicolians.

[edit] Inclusion of Yunnanozoa

Should we adjust the taxobox to mention the possible inclusion of the Yunnnanozoa, or no? Also, I thought they were related to hemichordates.--Mr Fink 17:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

The hypothesis is that Yunnanozoans are related to, not part of, Vetulicolia. In any case, the classifications remain speculative and contentious. -- Donald Albury 13:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
