Two new aberrant sessile graptolites from glacial boulders are described. The Silurian form, Urbanekicrusta reversa gen. et sp.n., is interpreted as a crustoid (hormograptid?) graptolite, whereas the Ordovician (?), Maenniligraptus ursulae gen. et sp.n., represents presumably an unknown order of Graptolithina.

Key words: graptolites, taxonomy, glacial boulders, Ordovician, Silurian, Poland.
