It contains revised diagnosis and descriptions of the morphology of selected Monograptidae (Monograptus flexilis, M. flemingi, M. antennularius, M. flexuosus, Monoclimacis flumendosae and M. vomerina, as well as a description of a new species. The specimens were etched from the rock and bleached what enabled a detail analysis under transmitted light. |
