Cochleatina is an organic-walled microfossil (' Small Carbonaceous Fossil') known from the late Ediacaran period and early Cambrian Fortunian Stage. [1] Cochleatina comprises a complex spiral ribbon structure, with a serrated outer margin. These spirals are frequently found embedded in an organic sheet. [1] [2] [3] Cochleatina is a rare example of a fossil taxon known to span the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary. [1]
Cochleatina's biological affinity is unknown. It has been variously regarded as the fossil remains of an animal, an algae, or a protist. [1]
