Nasepia altae is a species of Ediacaran erniettomorph which was described in 1973 from the farms of Vrede and Chamis, Namibia. Nasepia has an appearance similar to that of most other erniettomorphs from Namibia, with it having a leaf-like body with thin ribs and spindle-shaped bodies, however it differentiates itself from other taxa such as Pteridinium and Rangea in the sense that it has smaller petaloids and with the configuration of the ribs being sub-parallel to its axis.
