Rhabdopleuran hemichordates: new fossil forms and review
A.J. Chapman, P. N. Durman and R.B. Rickards
Proceedings of the Gelogists' Association 106, 293-303
A review and tabulation of all recorded fossil pterobranch hemichordates is given: a sporadic record
from the Cambrian to the Eocene makes the extant Rhabdopleura one of the longest-lived genera
known. Rhabdopleura hollandi Rickards, Chapman & Temple, is revised; R. graysoni sp. nov. and
R. sinica sp. nov. are described, respectively from the Carboniferous of Northern England and the
Llandeilo of China; some Graptovermida are ascribed to Rhabdopleura and a possible Silurian
Eocephalodiscus is described.
