Ivesheadiomorphs
The "ivesheadiomorphs" are a group of fossil structures, known from the Ediacaran localities in England and Newfoundland, that represent poorly preserved biological remains. It is can be unidentifiable fossil remains of various taxa such as Charnia, Charniodiscus, Bradgatia, Primocandelabrum, Pectinifrons and others, that effaced by partial decay by micro-organisms.[1]
Some ivesheadiomorph structures were described as distinct organism such as Ivesheadia lobata ("pizza disk"), Blackbrookia oaksi, Shepshedia palmata[2] and Pseudovendia charnwoodensis.[3] All this fossils are rejected as valid taxa.[1]
