Rotadiscus is a genus of discoidal animal known from the Cambrian Chengjiang biota[2] and classified with the eldonioids.[3]
As with other eldonioids, it was originally thought to have been pelagic, but is now thought to be benthic.
A 2023 cladistic analysis based on new fossils places Rotadiscus, along with other eldonioids, as stem-group ambulacrarians in the clade Cambroernida.[4]
