Fossil Enteropneusts - The fossil record for pterobranchs, including graptolites (Mitchell et al., 2012) is large and diverse (Bulman 1970), and better covered at other web pages. The fossil record of enteropneusts, by contrast, is limited to seven species and some trace fossils. See Cameron 2016 Paleontology, for the most recent review.
