Remarks on the Attachment of Dictyonema flabelliforme (Eichw.)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
The specimen to be described is from part of the McKenny Hughes Collection, preserved in the Sedgwick Museum, and was without any indication of horizon or locality. It is a slab of hard, light-grey, spotted shale, containing numerous examples of Dictyonema flabelliforme (Eichwald). The matrix is quite unlike any Dictyonema Shale known to the writer from extra-British localities, and from the general habit of the graptolites, supported by the lithology of the shale, the specimen is considered to be from some locality in Wales. In the view of Dr. G. L. Elles, who has examined the specimen, it may be part of a collection of D. flabelliforme made by McKenny Hughes from the Portmadoc district. A remarkable feature is shown in the proximal ends of three of the rhabdosomes, where the sicula terminates, not in a nema, but in a little tuft of root-like fibres.
