I always love illustrations of Ediacaran organisms.  And Spriggina is one of my favorites.  I see you've interpreted it here as a benthic crawling creature rather than a frond-like form.  Is the crawler interpretation more widely accepted now?  I actually prefer that interpretation, but for some reason I thought it was generally thought to be a frond.
