Ancientia

Note that Ancientia looks externally very similar to Cornulites, but differs by having laminate walls rather than the vesicular walls of Cornulites. The higher taxonomic position of Ancientia is unknown, but is listed here with polychaetes solely because of its gross external similarity to Cornulites, which is thought to belong to the polychaeta.
