Abstract

Macrofossils as composite molds and casts of Vendian soft-bodied organisms were found in the Vizinga and Ust’-Palega formations on the Chetlasskiy Kamen Hill of the Central Timan Range for the first time. Among them, representatives of palaeopascichnids, aspidellamorphs, possible frondomorphs, arumberiamorph microbially-induced sedimentary structures, and trace fossils were identified. Previously we have reported Vendian macrofossils from the Upper Precambrian of the South Timan Range in Dzhezhim-Parma Hill. Thus, the discovery of another fossil locality in the central part of the Timan Range significantly expands their palaeogeography and also clarifies the age limits of the deposition of the Vizinga and Ust-Palega formations, the stratigraphic position of which in the Upper Precambrian section was controversial.
