Abiesgraptus multiramosus is a cyrtograptid
graptolite of the subfamily Linograptidae. It is
known from the Lower Devonian (Monograptus
uniformis - M. hercynicus Zone) of Central
Europe and North Africa. Abiesgraptus sp. was
found also in Early Devonian deposits of
Yunan, China.
Bulman (1970, p. V135) described this
complicated graptolite as follows:
"Rhabdosome complex, comprising procladium
and 3 sicular cladia; procladium and central
sicular cladium bear paired thecal cladia; thecae
simple, without apertural modification."
