Taxonomic remark Has been compared with (and sometimes considered a synonym of) Beltanelloides Sokolov, 1972, however according to Leonov, 2007, Beltanelloides was planktonic and probably algal in nature, while Nemiana was apparently benthic and more sponge-like. Retallack & Broz, 2020, state that Nemiana "may be a fossil of a lake ball of the type now produced by the cyanobacterium Nostoc (Retallack 2016a)". [details]
