Effaced preservation in the Ediacara biota and its implications for the early macrofossil record
Abstract: Ediacaran structures known as 'pizza discs' or Ivesheadia have long been considered enigmatic. They are amongst the oldest known members of the Ediacara biota, apparently restricted to the Avalonian successions of Newfoundland and the UK, c. 579-560Ma. Here, we suggest that these...
