- •
The Mbuji-Mayi Supergroup comprises 49 microfossil taxa belonging to 27 genera.
- •
11 taxa are unambiguous eukaryotes, 10 possible eukaryotes and 28 probable bacteria.
- •
Several taxa, incl. 5 acanthomorph acritarchs, are reported for the first time in RDC.
- •
A late Meso-early Neoproterozoic microfossil age is consistent with geochronology.
- •
Moderate worldwide eukaryotic diversification also occurred in Central Africa.
