Elasenia is a genus of Ediacaran animals. The genus contains two species.[1][2][3]
The genus was formerly included under Inordozoa, incertae sedis by Fedonkin.It was classified as a Coelenterate,but after the break up of the taxon into two different phylums-Cnidaria and Ctenophora, the current position of this animal is uncertain.[4] It may be related to the extinct Trilobozoans (now considered a separate phylum) or the possible cnidarian class Cyclozoa.
