Skinnera is an Ediacaran-aged fossil found in Australia. It was discovered by A.L. Halliday and M.M. Bruer near Mount Skinner in the locality of Anmatjere,[1] in the Northern Territory of Australia some time before 1969. Mary Wade of the University of Adelaide originally formally described Skinnera as a medusa.
