Eoandromeda: np3Img4Eoand
np3Img4Eoand
The Ediacaran fossil Eoandromeda from South Australia. This enigmatic eight-armed fossil is shown with a piece of silly putty that was pressed into the impression of the fossil. This allows us to what the organism would have looked like in life, since the fossils here are preserved as impressions on the underside of sediment slabs. Eoandromeda is also found in similarly aged rocks in South China, where it is preserved as a carbonaceous compression fossil as opposed to an impression. Eoandromeda ranges in size from 1 to 4 centimeters in diameter. Like with many other Ediacaran fossils, we are not sure what relationship Eoandromeda has to modern organisms.
