Triforillonia costellae is a species of tri-radially symmetric organism which possess an unknown affinity, and might have been a tri-radially symmetric disc of some kind.[1]

The occurrence of T. costellae in the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland, is uncommon, and scientists have said that T. costellae was less resilient than other tri-radially symmetric organisms at the time, such as Albumares and Anfesta.[1]

Affinity

The affinity of T. costellae is unknown, seeing as how it shares similarities with the phylum Trilobozoa, yet the appearance of T. costellae is similar to that of a holdfast, or stem, of a Rangeomorph.[2][1]

Preservation

T. costellae fossils are preserved as shallow casts on sedimentary beds.[1]
