Summary
Description Kimberella NT.jpg |
English:
Kimberella quadrata
, a soft-bodied
bilaterian
animal from the
Ediacaran biota
of South Australia and Russia.
Kimberella
grew up to around 15 cm (6 in) long, though much smaller individuals have also been found, only a few millimeters in length.
Kimberella
has been found associated with scratch-mark trace fossils resembling the scratches from a mollusc's toothed
radula
, and thus
Kimberella
has been proposed as a possible proto-mollusc or mollusc relative, but this is as yet uncertain.
