Dickinsoniidae is a taxon of Ediacaran fossils with an airbed-like quilted morphology, sometimes found in association with bizarre trace fossils.[1] It is placed within the extinct phylum Proarticulata, and contains the defined genera Dickinsonia and probably Windermeria. Phyllozoon is associated with this family, and is thought to represent ichnofossils of Dickinsonia.
