Beothukis is a rare fossil frond-like member of the Rangeomorpha, described from the Ediacaran of Mistaken Point, Newfoundland.
[2] It had been identified since 1992,[3] referred in papers as a "spatulate frond" or "flat recliner", but not formally described until 2009.
Claims of a stem have been contentious, and based largely on structures that have subsequently been determined to be erosional scours, and is so considered to be a recliner [4] Beothukis appears as a frond composed of two asymmetrical rows of branches that depart from a central growth axis, 12.5–15.5 cm long and 4.5–6 cm wide.
[5] Beothukis is considered morphologically intermediate between Trepassia (previously known as Charnia wardi) and Bradgatia.
