Diplograptus penna Hopkinson 1869, and its bearing on vesicular structures
W.D.V. Jones and R.B. Rickards
Paläontologische Zeitschrift  1967, 41, 3/4, 173-185
 
 
A redescription of Diplograptus penna Hopkinson 1869 is given, based largely upon three-dimensional
material. The significance of the discoveries is discussed with respect to the concept of
Cystograptus Hundt
1942. The so-called "vesicles" of
"Orthograptus" vesiculosus Nicholson and Diplograptus penna Hopkinson
are interpreted as three vaned structures.
