Primocandelabrum is a genus of rangeomorph known from the Avalon-type Ediacaran biota. It makes up the brunt of some bedding plane assemblages.[1] Primocandelabrum was described by Hofmann, O'Brien, and King in 2008.[2]

Etymology

The fossils are thus named since it resembles candelabra, giving it its signature genus name.[2]
