"Windermeria aitkeni" is a Precambrian organism from the Northwest Territories, very similar in appearance and possibly related to "Dickinsonia". Like most "Dickinsonia" species, "W. aitkeni" is a flat, elongated oval divided up into segments or isomers. Unlike "Dickinsonia", the largest specimens of "W. aitkeni" grow no larger than 2 centimeters in length.

"W. aitkeni"'s fossils have only been found in the Blueflower Formation of Sekwi Brook North, in the Northwest Territories of Canada
