    Arumberia is an enigmatic fossil from the Ediacaran period[1] originally described from the Arumbera Sandstone, Northern Territory, Australia[2] but also found in the Urals,[3] East Siberia,[4] England and Wales,[5] Northern France,[5] the Avalon Peninsula[5] and India.[6] Several morphologically distinct species are recognized.[3][7]
