Onega stepanovi placed in phylum Proarticulata, as the segments in recently discovered, exceptionally well-preserved fossils display the glide, or "staggered", symmetry characteristic of the majority of proarticulatans. Imprints of "Onega stepanovi" have been found in the Verkhovka and Zimnie Gory Formations of the Ediacaran (Vendian) rocks of the Arkhangelsk Region, Russia. All the fossil specimens are negative imprints on the bases of fine-grained sandstone beds with the "elephant skin" and tubercle texture diagnostic of microbial mats. The same bedding planes contain various other Ediacaran species: "Cyclomedusa", "Ediacaria", palaeopascichnids, "Eoporpita", "Yorgia", "Andiva", "Archaeaspinus", "Vendia", "Dickinsonia", "Anfesta", "Albumares", "Tribrachidium", "Kimberella", "Parvancorina", "Charniodiscus" and others.
