Bergaueria is an Ediacaran– Silurian [2] trace fossil believed to represent the dwelling trace of Cnidarians (Actinia – sea anemones). [3] It likely caused mixing and fluid exchange into the sediment (bioirrigation). [4] Similar traces (Cheiichnus) can be made by rotational movement of arthropods. [5]
