What is it about?
The phosphatized microfossil medusozoans at embryonic stage. And the affinity of the studied microfossils can be tentativley tested to close to the stem group of cubozoans based on the phylogenetic analysis. The inner structures of the microfossils can be observed via the Computed X-ray Microtomography (XTM).
