Scientific classification
Genus:
Beltanelloides

Beltanelloides is a genus of marine microorganisms,[1] known from Vendian (Ediacaran) macrofossils and found in sedimentary rocks of the White Sea, Ukraine and the Puncoviscana Formation in Argentina.[2][3] The first finding of prints of the Vendian Beltanelloides sorichevae Sokolov 1965 in the lower part of the Barakun Formation confirms the Vendian age of the Far Taiga Group, Patom Complex. This finding also raises a problem concerning the lower propagation limit of Beltanelloides sorichevae. [4] Analyzing the character of burial of Beltanelloides podolicus, Ishchenko concluded that, at early ontogenetic stages, these organisms were free floating (small specimens are buried separately) and, then, they probably settled down on the bottom (since relatively large specimens are densely spaced, distorting each other).
