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.
