Palaeopascichnus is an Ediacaran fossil comprising a series of lobes, first originating before the Gaskiers glaciation; [1] it is plausibly a protozoan, but probably unrelated to the classical ' Ediacaran biota'. [2] Once thought to represent a trace fossil, it is now recognized as a body fossil [3] and corresponds to the skeleton of an agglutinating organism. [4]
