Andiva ivantsovi is a Vendian fossil, identified to be a bilaterian triploblastic animal in the Ediacaran phylum Proarticulata, known from the Winter Coast, White Sea, Russia. It was first discovered in 1977, and described as a new species in a new genus by Mikhail Fedonkin in 2002.[1] It lived about 555 million years ago. Fossils of Andiva also occur in South Australia.[1][2] All known fossils of Andiva are external molds.[3]
