Corumbella is a genus of terminal-Ediacaran cnidarian[1] that possessed a carapace made up of thick polygonal rings[2] in which plates with pores and papillae [3] attest to the advent of skeletogenesis in latest Neoproterozoic metazoan.[2][3] It was a sessile predator and somewhat resembles the later conulariids.[2][4]
