Eoandromeda octobrachiata<\/em><\/h1>\n

Eoandromeda octobrachiata<\/em>, an octoradial spiral organism found in Nilpena Ediacara National Park, South Australia as an external mould in sandstone and in South China as a carbonaceous compression in shale. Named after the Andromeda galaxy, this 8-armed spiral organism has conflicting hypotheses regarding its mode of life (sessile vs pelagic) and where it fits in the tree of life. Grew up to 5 cm in diameter.<\/p>\n
