Flavostratum is a genus of Ediacaran fossils from the Zimnegory Formation (Upper Vendian) of the White Sea region, Russia.[1][2][3]

The fossil is preserved as a thin encrusting film attached to microbial-mat surfaces. It is interpreted as a sessile benthic organism representing an attachment structure rather than a discrete body fossil.[1]
