Description
Some confusion arose over the naming of graptolites with the introduction of the genus name Priodon, apparently suggested but not published by Sven Nilsson (see Tullberg, 1882b, p. 7; cited also in Elles & Wood, 1902, p. vii) and used first by Bronn (1835, p. 56), who indicated the homonymy with the genus Priodon Quoy & Gaimard, 1825.
