Ichnusa is a genus of discoidal (although this is due to preservation) cnidarians that existed during the Ediacaran, 635-541 Million Years ago (MYA) discovered on the island of Sardinia, Italy.[1] The genus is monotypic, only containing the species Ichnusa cocozzi.[2] Palaeontologists think that Ichnusa represented a cnidarian of unknown affinities, with I. cocozzi being put in the Scyphozoa.[2]
