Anfesta stankovskii was a trilobozoan closely related to Tribrachidium heraldicum. It was 18 mm in diameter, and, like T. heraldicum, was divided into three lobes, though the organism was circular in appearance, as opposed to its relative, Albumares brunsae. Its fossils have been found in Ediacaran strata along the Winter Shore of the White Sea.
