THE NAME OF THIS ARTICLE MISMATCHES ITS CONTENTS!
You should change contents of this article to the description and history of the Fractofusus misrai (the extinct organism from Vendian (Ediacaran) rocks of the Newfoundland), or create separate article about geologist Shiva Balak Misra, or something another. -- Aleksey (Alnagov (talk) 22:14, 28 January 2009 (UTC))Reply

Article has been moved to Fractofusus misrai and a proper introduction paragraph has been added, along with a reference. More references are suggested, help from the Wikipedia community is appreciated. Truthanado (talk) 14:23, 10 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Shouldn't it be its genus name? Since you can keep the contents from this article but change its title to simply just Fractofusus. Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 20:45, 24 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
