A class-level profile anchored to the late Darriwilian articulated Oesolcucumaria eostre record from Wales; a disputed Cambrian database identification is retained as a rejected endpoint candidate.
Automated checks cover structure, identifiers, translations and links only; maintainer and external expert review are not complete.
Oesolcucumaria eostre from the late Darriwilian Holothurian Bed of Wales is the oldest articulated holothurian used here, and its calcareous ring provides an unequivocal class assignment; a disputed Cambrian PBDB identification is not used as the range endpoint.
claim:taxon:holothuroidea:darriwilian-articulated-recordOesolcucumaria eostre is assigned to Holothuroidea in the cited systematic study by articulated anatomy including a diagnostic calcareous ring; disputed Cambrian material is not used as an equivalent class record.
claim:taxon:holothuroidea:taxonomyThe cited articulated Oesolcucumaria record is from the late Darriwilian Holothurian Bed at Llandrindod, Wales; it does not establish global holothurian distribution or an origin centre.
claim:taxon:holothuroidea:biogeographyThe articulated Holothurian Bed record does not establish class-wide diet, habitat preference, locomotor performance, body-size distribution or guild for Holothuroidea; the profile retains only its marine depositional context.
claim:taxon:holothuroidea:ecologyOesolcucumaria eostre preserves an articulated body and diagnostic calcareous ring in the cited Holothurian Bed material; these observations remain specimen- and locality-bounded.
