P=Project E=Experiment
For this project, a new fossil bed in Nilpena, Australia was excavated. The research investigated two hypotheses: 1) The fossils that are preserved on this bed are the same taxa as those on other excavated beds and 2) The biodiversity pattern of Ediacara Biota is similar to other beds that have been excavated.
