Piotr Mierzejewski
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 29 (3-4), 1984: 157-160
The fusellar tissue of an Ordovician graptoblast has been studied with TEM. It was found that It is solely composed of Cephalodiscus-type fibrils, unknown hitherto in graptolites. The fusellar tissue of the studied specimen has more in
common with recent pterobranchs than with graptolites.
Key words: graptolites, pterobranchs, ultrastructure, Ordovician.
