摘要
来自美国伊利诺斯州晚石炭纪Mazon Creek Lagerstätte (~309 Ma)的Tully怪物(Tullimonstrum gregarium)自发现以来,其亲缘关系一直备受争议。长可达35厘米,长喙末端为钳状,身体细长,尾部有背鳍和腹鳍。这个标志性的进化谜团或“奇怪的奇迹”被认为与节肢动物、各种“蠕虫”、被囊动物、牙形刺、刺小动物、绒毛动物甚至脊椎动物有关,但它可能是一种软体动物(Caenogastropoda),如翼管类(异足类)远洋腹足类,类似于冠状翼管类(“海象”)。
The affinities of the Tully monster (Tullimonstrum gregarium), from the late Carboniferous Mazon Creek Lagerstätte (~309 Ma) of Illinois, have been debated since its discovery. Tullimonstrum is up to ~35 cm long with a long proboscis ending in pincers and an elongate tapering body with caudal dorsal and ventral fins. This iconic evolutionary enigma or ‘weird wonder’ has been suggested to relate to arthropods, various ‘worms’, tunicates, conodonts, lancelets, vetulicolians and even vertebrates, but it may be a mollusc (Caenogastropoda) such as a pterotracheid (heteropod) pelagic gastropod, similar to Pterotrachea coronata (the ‘sea elephant’).
