Grypania is an early, tube-shaped fossil from the Proterozoic Eon. The organism could have been a giant bacterium or bacterial colony, but because of its size (over one centimeter) and consistent form, is more likely to have been a eukaryotic alga. The oldest probable Grypania fossils date to about 2100 million years ago, and the youngest extended into the Mesoproterozoic Era. Grypania reproduced asexually.

  • Grypania spiralis es un fósil del Paleoproterozoico (hace unos 2. 200 millones de años). Pudo ser una colonia gigante de bacterias, pero, dado su tamaño, se cree que pudo ser una alga filamentosa, es decir, un organismo eucariota; de ser así, sería el primer miembro conocido del dominio Eukarya. Los fósiles fueron hallados en la formación Negaunee Iron en Palmer . (es)
