Phylum incertae † - 00352 [Входит в Superphylum Lophotrochozoa]

Genus Kimberella Glaessner & Daily, 1959 (verify) †

    [Fossil]

[The fossil Kimberella, originally described from southern Australia but subsequently found elsewhere, including from the White Sea in northern Russia, has been persuasively reconstructed as a benthic bilaterian animal with a non-mineralised, univalved shell, resembling a mollusc (Fedonkin & Waggoner 1997). This interpretation provides evidence for the existence of large triploblastic metazoans in the Precambrian, and requires the origin of the higher groups of protostomes to have occurred deep in the Precambrian, at least prior to ~560 Ma.]

[Kimberella is a mollusc 01391, as suggested by Fedonkin & Waggoner 1997, or the Ediacara/Zimnie Gory traces are correctly interpreted as radula scratches.]

Species Kimberella quadrata Glaessner & Daily, 1959 † [Winter Coast of the White Sea, Russia]
