Some of the earliest forms of multicellular life were found in the Ediacara Hills which is the type locality for the time period.  The precise location of the original sites need to be found. 

Description

Ediacara Hills (pron.: /iːdiːˈækərə/) are a range of low hills in the northern part of the Flinders Ranges of South Australia, around 650 km north of Adelaide. The area has many old copper and silver mines from mining activity during the late 19th century. The hills also contain fossils of early multicellular life forms, the Ediacaran biota (lagerstätte), and have given their name to the Ediacaran geological period. [2]
