Corumbella is an extinct genus of terminal-Ediacaran cnidarians. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Corumbellidae, and is represented by a single species Corumbella werneri.[2] It possessed a carapace made up of thick polygonal rings[3] in which plates with pores and papillae [4] attest to the advent of skeletogenesis in latest Neoproterozoic metazoan.[3][4] It was a sessile predator and somewhat resembles the later conulariids.[3][5]
