[ABSTRACT, p. 103]  Fragments of
rhabdosomes of the graptolite
Bulmanicrusta latialata latialata
Kozlowski, 1962 (Crustoidea,
Wimanicrustidae), etched from the Silurian
(middle Ludlovian) erratic boulder are
described. This find takes up the upper
stratigraphic range of the order
Crustoidea
from the Middle Ordovician to the Upper
Silurian. From the same boulder zooidal
tubes of the first Silurian pterobranchs
(Pterobranchia,
Rhabdopleurida) are
described under the name
?Rhabdopleura
