The genus Milaculum was erected to contain isolated plates that have since been identified as components of palaeoscolecid worms.[1] They are adorned with regularly arranged humps that recall the arrangement of holes in Microdictyon.[2] The plates are sometimes found in association with palaeoscolecid cuticle.[3]
