Advertised as Unknown Ediacaran species?

This is certainly not Kimberella. Kimberella is preserved as a three dimensional fossil with a depression in the center while this fossil is perfectly flat.

Where does the fossil come from? It looks a bit like fossils from the Doushantou Formation in China.

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

Very late reply, but yes this is not a Kimberella as stated by others. 
This is from the Doushantuo Formation in China.

Based on morphology it is most likely a partial example of Tawuia dalensis.
