pRIMOCANDELABRUM SP.
HOFMANN ET AL., 2008
The structure of Primocandelabrum sp. is very similar to P. hiemalorum, but it is slightly wider and apparently lacks the characteristic Hiemalora disc. However, this lack of disc has been suggested to be taphonomic (an artefact of how the fossil was preserved), and so Primocandelabrum sp. could be synonymous with P. hiemalorum rather than a separate species.
