Corumbella is an extinct genus of terminal-Ediacaran cnidarians. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Corumbellidae, and is represented by a single species Corumbella werneri.^[2] It possessed a carapace made up of thick polygonal rings^[3] in which plates with pores and papillae ^[4] attest to the advent of skeletogenesis in latest Neoproterozoic metazoan.^[3]^[4] It was a sessile predator and somewhat resembles the later conulariids.^[3]^[5]
