Figure 5: Shape distribution of the Gaoyuzhuang macroscopic fossils.

From: Decimetre-scale multicellular eukaryotes from the 1.56-billion-year-old Gaoyuzhuang Formation in North China

Figure 5

(a) Histogram showing the size frequency distribution of maximum widths within and among morphotypes: oblong (red), tongue-shaped (blue), cuneate (green), and linear (orange). (b) Plot of length versus maximum width for all measured fossil individuals from the Gaoyuzhuang assemblage. Red triangle=oblong, blue triangle=tongue-shaped, green diamond=cuneate, orange diamond=linear, and black circle=fragments.
