Valeria lophostriata是一种具明显纹饰有机壁的球状疑源类微体化石 ,对它的近 30个已知化石记录进行了评论。发现其产地集中在北纬 30°以北 ;并在近 7亿年的时间间隔 ,以双峰态时间分布。因此 ,将它作为重要的生物地层标志是不适宜的。其表面特征的韵律式样可能是Belousov- Zhabotinsky反应的一种显微实例。作者提出该属种的纹饰特征和壳壁的化学成分应是今后深入研究的课题。 Valeria lophostriata, a spherical, doubtful sourced microfossil with apparently textured organic walls, comments on nearly 30 of its known fossil records. Found that its origin concentrated in north latitude 30 ° north; and nearly 700 million years time interval, with bimodal time distribution. Therefore, it is not appropriate to use it as an important biogenic marker. The rhythmic pattern of its surface features may be a microscopic example of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. The authors suggest that the ornamental characteristics of the genus and the chemical composition of the shell wall should be the subject of further study.
