Estoniadiscus is an extinct genus of animal of unknown classification,[1] possibly belonging to Bilateria,[2] from the Early Cambrian (Nemakit-Daldynian–Atdabanian)[3] of Estonia.[4][5] Originally described as a species of Scenella in 1888a,[6] it was redescribed as a possible stem-brachiopod in 2003.[7]
