Redkinia is a genus of rod-like Ediacaran fossil fringed with large and small projections [1] which has been putatively compared with the mandibles of an Arthropod [2] and the mouthparts of Wiwaxia and Odontogriphus. [3] If it were to have been a jaw, it would have been used for filter-feeding rather than crushing. [4]
