- The taxonomic status of the vestimentiferans has been the subject of considerable debate recently.
- The Figueroa vent assemblage is dominated numerically by vestimentiferan tube worms, as are all the other known fossil vent assemblages where ‘tube worm’ fossils can be confidently identified as vestimentiferans.
- This seep assemblage is unusual for an ancient cold-seep site, because it was apparently dominated by one species of vestimentiferan.
- One of the most conspicuous groups of animals living in deep-sea chemosynthetic communities at hydrothermal vents are large vestimentiferan tube worms.
