The world's longest graptolite?
David K. Loydell & Robert F. Loveridge
Geological Journal  (2001) 36, 1, 55-57
 
 
ABSTRACT:

"An incomplete specimen of Stimulograptus halli 1.45 m long is recorded from the Aberystwyth Grifts Formation north of
Clarach, western mid-Wales. This is the longest graptoloid graptolite known. Assuming a growth rate similar to that of
modern
Rhabdopleura it lived for at least 25 years."
