[[File:Keretsa brutoni.jpg|thumb|left|Artist's reconstruction of ''K. brutoni'' as an arthropod, compared to individuals of ''Parvancorina'']] '''''Keretsa brutoni''''' is a fossil bilaterian from the Late Precambrian-aged Zimnie Gory Formation near Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia, along the Winter coast of the White Sea. The first specimens were found in 2005.<ref name=Ivantsov2017/> This rounded oblong-shaped organism resembles ''Naraoia'', in having its body divided into an anteriorly positioned headshield, and a trunkshield. A pair of antennae-like structures emanate from underneath the base of the headshield, and there are numerous oblique grooves along the trunkshield that suggest legs.<ref name=Ivantsov2017/>
