    The present study reports and discusses discoidal Ediacaran body fossils identified as Hiemalora stellaris from the Sonia Sandstone of Jodhpur Group, Marwar Supergroup, Western Rajasthan, India. These are preserved as positive relief on the yellowish-brown to pinkish-brown medium to fine-grained sandstone bedding surfaces in Sursagar area. Morphologically, these are circular to sub-circular, mostly flat-discoidal forms or discs surrounded by numerous radiating arms or appendages resembling tentacles. Hiemalora is reinterpreted and reconstructed as discoidal hold fast of benthic organism but not found the attached fronds or stem-like structures of the hold fasts in the present materials. The systematic palaeontology, palaeobiology, palaeoenvironment and age of the Hiemalora bearing Ediacaran Sonia Sandstone have been also discussed.
