New findings of Vendian soft-bodied organisms and macroalgae in South Timan (Nem Hill, Yugydiag Quarry)

New macroscopic fossils have been discovered in the Dzhezhim Formation of the Upper Precambrian Chetlas Group of the South Timan, exposed in the Yugydiag Quarry: three-dimensional casts and molds of discoidal colonial Ediacara-type soft-bodied organisms; and Miaohe-type carbonaceous compressions of algal organisms. Finding of a various macroscopic fossil in the Dzhezhim Formation clarifies the age limits of its deposition, whose stratigraphic position in the Upper Precambrian section was controversial.
