Beltanelliformis is a genus of discoid fossil from the Ediacaran period, sometimes ascribed to the Ediacaran Biota. The chemical signature obtained from organically preserved specimens points to a cyanobacterial affinity (cf. Nostoc).^[2] Depending on its preservation, it is sometimes referred to as Nemiana or Beltanelloides.^[2]^[3]
