Vendia

Vendia is a genus of oval-shaped, Ediacaran fossils ranging from 4.5 to 12.5 mm long.

The transverse elements decrease in size from anterior to posterior and are all inclined in the same direction.

The fossil bears a depression along a body that is interpreted as a digestive-distributive system that consists of a simple axial tube and short lateral appendages located along the borders between the isomers.

[1] The first species, V. sokolovi, was originally found in a core from a Yarensk borehole in the south of Arkhangelsk Oblast of Russia in beginning of the 1960s [2] and was described by Boris Keller in 1969.

[1][4][5] The Charnwood Forest form, Pseudovendia charnwoodensis has been synonymized with the rangeomorph Charnia.
