Cambrian
The Cambrian is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, and the Phanerozoic Eon.
Charles Doolittle Walcott

Cnidaria
Cnidaria is a phylum under kingdom Animalia containing over 11,000 species of aquatic animals found both in fresh water and marine environments (predominantly the latter), including jellyfish, hydroids, sea anemones, corals and some of the smallest marine parasites.
Conasauga Formation
The Conasauga Formation is a geologic formation in Georgia.
See Brooksella and Conasauga Formation
Diagenesis
Diagenesis is the process that describes physical and chemical changes in sediments first caused by water-rock interactions, microbial activity, and compaction after their deposition.
Hexactinellid
Hexactinellid sponges are sponges with a skeleton made of four- and/or six-pointed siliceous spicules, often referred to as glass sponges.
See Brooksella and Hexactinellid
Ostium
An ostium (ostia) in anatomy is a small opening or orifice.
Palaeoworld
Palaeoworld is a peer-reviewed academic journal with a focus on palaeontology and stratigraphy research in and around China.
See Brooksella and Palaeoworld
PeerJ
PeerJ is an open access peer-reviewed scientific mega journal covering research in the biological and medical sciences.
Pseudofossil
Pseudofossils are inorganic objects, markings, or impressions that might be mistaken for fossils. Brooksella and Pseudofossil are Pseudofossils.
See Brooksella and Pseudofossil
Sponge spicule
Spicules are structural elements found in most sponges.
