Classification

Somatohelix is an extinct organism of uncertain affinities from the late Ediacaran of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. Originally interpreted as a trace fossil, better preserved material was found which confirmed it was not a trace fossil. It is a monotypic genus, containing only Somatohelix sinuosus.
