This is a interesting slab with several Ediacaran fossils of the species Harlaniella podolica from the Studenitsa Formation in Ukraine. Initially, it was believed that these were trace fossils, but it is now suspected that they are internal impressions of the body of an unknown organism. The finds from the Studenitsa Formation are particularly significant for the interpretation of Harlaniella, as they are preserved in an organic state (Ivantsov, A. Yu., 2013) *. * Ivantsov, A. Yu.
