OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yorgia waggoneri Ivantsov, 1999 is a member of the Ediacara biota, and resembles a cross between the organisms Dickinsonia and Spriggina. It has a low, segmented body consisting of a short wide head , no appendages, and a long body region, reaching a maximum length of 25 cm. It is classified into an extinct animal phylum, the Proarticulata. The body plan of the Yorgia and other proarticulates is unusual for solitary (non-colonial) metazoans. These bilateral organisms have a segmented metameric body, but left and right transverse elements (isomers) are organized in an alternating pattern relatively to the axis of the body - they are not direct mirror images. This phenomenon is described as the symmetry of gliding reflection, which is a characteristic also found in the similar Spriggina. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M. Surhone , Miriam T.
