Future Plans -
Stage 2 - Ediacaran fossils
Fossils of the Ediacara biota, from the Flinders Ranges, are simply the sandstone impressions of soft-bodied animals without skeletons or shells.
Some of these animal impressions look like the ancestors of living groups such as corals, sponges, starfish and worms. Others are so bizarre that it seems they may be members of entirely extinct groups.
