    Perhaps Ediacaran?

    Eat, drink, and be merry without a mouth, gut, or anus for tomorrow we go extinct?

    If to not forbid then my device under hand can replace Ediacaran with Edwardian. The "helper" bots know better what we need to type.

    That's why it's referred to as "Autocorrupt".

    Thanks for reporting this. It's a shame this is paywalled. Mostly the study seems to be confirmative;
    it's been known, or at least stongly suspected that Kimberella is a "modern" type of animal, in that
    it's motile, had feeding apparatus, mouth and gut, although it's phylogenetic relation to other metazoans
    remains controversial. Similarly, the "animal" attribute is applied to Dickinsoniids even though it seems
    to lack inernal organs. The surprise is Calyptrina (a "558-million-year (Ma)-old tube worm-like" organism).
    That it displays a gut removes it from the osmotrophic Rangeomorphs) or placozoan-like feeding strategies
    (Dickinsoniids) of other Ediacaran critters.
