Thectardis
''Thectardis avalonensis'' is a triangular-shaped member of the Ediacara biota, dating from . The organism took the form of an elongated cone with a central depression, and its apex was anchored to the substrate. ==Morphology==
The fossils take the form of a triangle with a central depression, suggesting that the original organism was conical. The diameter to height ratio of the organism is roughly constant in each location at 1 to 3 in the younger beds, and from 1 to 2.5 in the older beds. The constant ratio suggests that it grew by adding to its body at the base of the cone. The triangle has a raised margin about a quarter of the width of the triangle. The interior either is blank, depressed, or has some vague transverse markings. The impression occurs in the upper bed rather than the lower surface.
