Bomakellia

Ediacaran fossil organism

Bomakellia kelleri is a species of poorly understood Ediacaran fossil organism represented by only one specimen discovered in the Ust'-Pinega Formation of the Syuzma River from rocks dated 555 million years old. Bomakellia was originally interpreted as an early Arthropod. A study by B. M. Waggoner even concluded that the organism was a primitive anomalocarid and erroneously identified the ridges of supposed Cephalon as being eyes making Bomakellia the oldest known animal with vision. But this hypothesis has not reached acceptance, nor acknowledgement.
