Corumbella

Corumbella is an extinct genus of terminal-Ediacaran cnidarians. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Corumbellidae, and is represented by a single species Corumbella werneri. It possessed a carapace made up of thick polygonal rings in which plates with pores and papillae attest to theadvent of skeletogenesis in latest Neoproterozoic metazoan. It was a sessile predator and somewhat resembles the later conulariids. List of Ediacaran genera
