| has gloss | eng: Funisia is a genus containing the single species F. dorothea, a fossil upright worm-like animal from the Ediacaran biota. Funisia stood about 0.3 metres tall. Because individuals grew in dense collections of animals the same age, it is believed to have reproduced sexually. Funisia is one of the oldest known animals for which there is evidence of sexual reproduction. The name dorothea is in honor of Dorothy Droser, the mother of one of the scientists to describe the animal. |
