@lockwooddewitt It is more widely known as the Francevillian biota. A couple of papers in PLOS & Nature 2010 &2014, Stefan Bengtson best known (2me) name as author. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0099438 and doi:10.1038/nature09166 It even has a wiki page.
@beautifulwood @StartsWithABang The search for ancient multicellular life continues. One of the most interesting recent discoveries is the suite of fossils from 2.1billion year old rocks in equatorial Africa. https://t.co/kzSvJNab8c
