Template:Short description Template:Taxobox/core
Waputikia is a possible red alga of the middle Cambrian Burgess shale.[1] It comprises a main stem about 1 cm across, with the longest recovered fossil 6 cm in length.[1] Branches of a similar diameter emerge from the side of the main branch, then rapidly bifurcate to much finer widths. The fossils are smooth and shiny; no internal structure can be recognised.[1] 10 specimens of Waputikia are known from the Greater Phyllopod bed, where they comprise < 0.1% of the community.[2]
