A reassessment of the problematic Ediacaran genus Orbisiana Sokolov 1976 ...
The genus Orbisiana was established in 1976 by B.S. Sokolov based on a collection of seven specimens within core material from a borehole drilled through the Ediacaran-age Gavrilov Yam Formation of the Moscow Basin, Russia. Here we reassess the original material for the type species Orbisiana simple...

The genus Orbisiana was established in 1976 by B.S.
