They occur below a glaciomarine diamictite about 2.5 km below the base of the Cambrian, and they may represent the oldest Ediacaran fossils now known. The find has implications for models that relate the evolution of the Ediacara fauna to the waning of the Varanger glaciation. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
