Funisia
''Funisia'' is a genus containing the single species ''F. dorothea'', a fossil upright worm-like animal from the Ediacaran biota. ''Funisia'' stood about 0.3 metres tall.〔 Source: University of California - Riverside via physorg.com〕 Because individuals grew in dense collections of animals the same age, it is believed to have reproduced sexually.〔 Although the evolution of sex took place before the origin of animals, and evidence of sexual reproduction is observed in red algae , ''Funisia'' is one of the oldest known animals for which there is evidence of sexual reproduction.〔 Its relationship to other animals is unknown, but it may belong within the Porifera (sponges) or Cnidaria.〔 The genus and species were described in a 2008 paper.〔
==Etymology==
The generic name ''Funisia'' is after the Latin "Rope", and is pronounced to rhyme with Tunisia, rather than the more fitting "fun is 'ere".〔(Supporting online material )〕
The name ''dorothea'' is in honor of Dorothy Droser, the mother of Dr. Mary Droser, one of the scientists who studied the organism. 〔
