Artwork illustrating the research that unravels the skeleton structure of Corumbella werneri, a little animal that lived in Brazil almost 600 million years ago, in the Ediacaran Period. It had a mineralized skeleton composed of rows of imbricated plates, like roof tiles.

Before bilateral symmetry evolved, the sea floor was dominated by strange animals: some had 3-lobed symmetry, glide symmetry or no symmetry at all. They could look like mats, tubes or toroids, and some resembled modern plants. Welcome to the Ediacaran period.

PAPER ALERT📑📢! Here is paleobiological/taphonomic reinterpretation of one of the most iconic Ediacaran fossils: Charniodiscus concentricus from ! The same genus can be found in and !

The Ediacaran Period hosted many new wild and wonderful animals such as Yorgia, a disc-like organism from the extinct phylum Proarticulata, and Kimberella, a slug-like bilaterian.
