Sinosabellidites huainanensis is a species of Early Neoproterozoic algae, within the Huainan biota. When described, its worm-like shape and annulated appearance led it to be mistaken for an animal. ^[1] S. huainanensis has two ends which are both bulbous and form the sausage-like shape present in the majority of coeval specimens. ^[1]
