The referred 710-specimen Yuganotheca elegans sample collectively supports a reconstruction combining paired agglutinated valves, a horseshoe-shaped lophophore, a bipartite tubular attachment structure and a long pedicle; no individual fossil is asserted to preserve this entire suite, and the mosaic supports comparison near the brachiopod–phoronid stem region without resolving exact ancestry.
