Mawsonites
Mawsonites is a kind of fossil from 630 – 542 million years ago during the Precambrian era. The fossils consist of a rounded diamond shape, made up from lobes radiating out from a central circle roughly 12 cm in diameter. There are about 19 radiations from the central circle. The type species is Mawsonites spriggi, named after Douglas Mawson, and Reg Sprigg. It was named by Martin Glaessner and Mary Wade in 1966. Theories about what it is are algae holdfasts, jellyfish, a filter feeder, a burrow, and a microbial colony.
