Here is a inexpensive Vendian Ediacara fossil of the species Kimberella quadrata a from the Verkhovka Formation of the Solza River fossil site. Unfortunately, the Kimberella is not completely preserved, but the plate still shows some grazing traces. This ichnospeices can be described as Kimberichnus teruzzii. The systematic position of the genus Kimberella is still controversial, as with almost all Ediacaran fossils. After the classical interpretation is Kimberella a medusa like Coelenterata. This interpretation is due more and better preserved specimens obsolete today. Today is Kimberella associated with the molluscs with some reservation.
