Ediacaran macrofossils in Shunyang Valley, Sixi, Three Gorges district, Hubei Province, China

Previously undescribed Ediacaran macrofossils are documented in and close to a quarry southwest of Zigui in Shunyang Valley, near Sixi Village, Yangtze Three Gorges region, Hubei Province, China. Discoidal impressions, vendotaenids, and a new branching form occur in bedded carbonates through the entire 235 m thickness of the Dengying Formation. The quarry and nearby outcrops in the stream valley have significant potential for further discoveries of Ediacaran macrofossils.
