• Float that could not be tied down definitely stratigraphically was not included in the study material. Ediacaran body fossils occur predominantly as raised features on the bottom of beds and very rarely as depressed features on soles. The Sekwi Brook fauna represent the first Ediacaran assemblage on a slope setting/
