Namacalathus
Namacalathus (name derives from the Nama group where it was described, and the Greek word kalathos, meaning basket in the shape of a lily, or wine goblet) is a problematic metazoan fossil occurring in the latest Proterozoic Nama Group of central and southern Namibia. The single species hermanastes (from herma a Greek word for reef, and nastes for inhabitant) was first described by Grotzinger, Watters, and Knoll in 2000.
