Taxonomic remark Calcareous fossils from the uppermost Precambrian with double-walled, saucer-shaped or irregularly discoidal skeletons lacking structural elements between the walls. Treated as fossil algae in ING and elsewhere, though sometimes as cnidarians (medusoids); possibly ancestors of certain receptaculitids. Wood et al., 2017 "tentatively" reinterpret Suvorovella and its allies as "holdfasts of [Ediacaran] taxa of unknown affinity, orientated in life by attachment of the apex to, or within, sea floor sediment".
