High levels of eukaryotic species richness and morphological disparity suggest that although late Palaeoproterozoic [fossils] preserve our oldest record of eukaryotes, the eukaryotic clade has a much deeper history.
What makes L. operculata so distinct is that it has a feature that appears to be evidence of a survival mechanism used by modern eukaryotes.
