Reticulomedusa is an extinct genus of prehistoric cnidarian containing a single species, Reticulomedusa greenei.[1] It is known from the Mazon Creek located in Illinois.[2] Although it was once described as jellyfish,[3] it may be pedal or oral disc of Essexella which is reinterpreted as sea anemone.[4]
