Marywadea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marywadea is an Ediacaran fossil.

The shape is oval with a central ridge. It is a bilaterian organism as evidenced by its symmetry. The fossil has an asymmetrical first chamber of the quilt. It has transverse ridges away from the central axis that may be gonads.

It was named by Martin Glaessner in 1976, naming it after Mary Wade, a fellow paeontologist. The fossil may be a synonym for Spriggina.
