New Ediacaran fossils from the Mackenzie Mountains, northwestern Canada
The terminal Neoproterozoic Sheepbed and Blueflower Formations at Sekwi Brook in northwestern Canada have yielded two additional taxa, both of them new to North America. Hiemalora cf. H. pleiomorphus Vodanjuk is a tentaculate disc that most likely represents a semi-infaunal polyp. Windermeria aitken...
