Abstract
A new species of pterobranch has been found that has features that could resolve the longstanding arguments by palaeontologists about how the fossil graptolites produced their elaborate extra‐corporeal homes. Many complex and biologically highly unlikely solutions previously proposed can be simplified. This animal is probably classifiable as a graptolite and thus a living fossil, representing a group thought to be extinct for 300 million years.
