Unknown Jellyfish
(Possibly Cnidaria, Hiemalora sp.)

• Cnidaria is a diverse phylum of aquatic animals including jellyfish, coral, and sea anemones.

Hiemalora was a soft-bodied, stationary marine organism which may have resembled a sea anemone. It appears to have had a bag-shaped body structure with an array of tentacle-like appendages.

Hiemalora fossils are actually found beneath Cambrian strata in Ediacaran layers.
