Reassessment of the phylogenetic position of conulariids (?Ediacaran‐Triassic) within the subphylum medusozoa (phylum cnidaria)
Heyo Van Iten,Juliana de Moraes Leme,Marcello G. Simões,Antonio C. Marques,Allen Gilbert Collins +4 more
TL;DR: Conulariids are the sister group of the scyphozoan order Coronatae rather than Stauromedusae, which is revealed as the earliest diverging lineage of Medusozoa, and this new hypothesis implies several different sequences of character evolution within Cnidaria.

Origin and early diversification of the phylum cnidaria verrill: major developments in the analysis of the taxon's proterozoic-cambrian history
Heyo Van Iten,Heyo Van Iten,Antonio C. Marques,Juliana de Moraes Leme,Mírian Liza Alves Forancelli Pacheco,Marcello Guimarães Simões +5 more
TL;DR: The oldest known fossil cnidarians occur in strata of Ediacaran age and consist of polypoid forms that were either nonbiomineralizing or weakly so as mentioned in this paper.

Occurrence of Byronia Matthew and Sphenothallus Hall in the Lower Cambrian of China
TL;DR: In this article, rare phosphatic tubular fossils from the Lower-Middle Cambrian Kaili Formation of Guizhou Province, southern China were originally identified as non-calcified algae or "worms" (ScoleciellusLiu).

New data on the morphology of Sphenothallus Hall: implications for its affinities
TL;DR: The hypothesis of a cnidarian affinity for Sphenothallus is favoured, thought to indicate that Sphenorhallus was wormlike, and the recent discovery of paired tentacles in Sphenofhallus from the Early Devonian Hunsruck Slate does not militate against this hypothesis.
