A richly fossiliferous horizon has been discovered within the massive Pound Quartzite formation which underlies the Cambrian Archaeocyathinae limestones in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. The fossils occur as impressions on surfaces of flaggy quartzite. The five genera and species described are almost certainly all pelagic Coelenterates, and while several forms are referred to the class Scyphozoa, it is possible that one or more species may be more correctly assigned as Hydromedusae. The more problematical forms may prove to be pneumatophores or swimming bells
