Albumares brunsae was a trilobozoan closely related to Tribrachidium heraldicum. It was 10 mm in diameter, and, unlike the related, circular Anfesta stankovskii was divided into three lobes that gave it a trefoil-like appearance. Its fossils have been found in Ediacaran strata along the Summer Shore of the White Sea.
