The early Ordovician graptolites from the upper part (Tumok Member) of the Mungok Formation of the Namaeri and Baeiljae sections at Yeongwol consist of five species belonging to five genera. They are Adelograptus cf. tenellus, Callograptus sp., Dendrograptus suni, Dictyonema sp., and Psigraptus jacksoni. Of these 5 species, Psigraptus is the most excellent index fossil for international correlation with the early Ordovician strata. Adelograptus cf. tenellus from the Mungok Formation of the Namaeri and Baeiljae sections is also recognized with especially short stipe relative to Adelograptus tenellus. Three graptolite zones (such as Adelograptus, Psigraptus, and Dendroid type zones) are correlated with those of Canada, Australia, and China, respectively. The upper part of the Mungok Formation is assigned to the late Tremadocian.

Lower Ordovician (Upper Tremadoc) graptolites were found for the first time at the two sections of the Mungok Formation in Danyang area: the Seokgyori and Daejeonri sections. The graptolites from these sections comprise two species of two genera: Adelograptus brevibrachiatus and Psigraptus jacksoni. The graptolite faunas of the sections in the area show simple composition relative to Yeongwol area; they appear to be correlated to: (1) the Adelograptus cf tenellus Zone of Yeongwol area, (2) the Adelograptus cf. tenellus Zone of Yukon, Canada, (3) the Psigraptus Zone of Tasmania, Australia, and (4) the Psigraptus jacksoni Zone of Jilin, China. The age of graptolite beds of the Mungok Formation at Danyang appears to be early Upper Tremadoc of the Lower Ordovician.

Adelograptus brevibrachiatus sp. novo is erected for materials previously referred to as Adelograptus cf. tenellus from the circum-Pacific area. The species shares many morphological characteristics with Adelograptus tenellus from Europe but differs from it by possessing typically short stipe lengths throughout rhabdosome due to less thecal density along the stipes. Taxonomic characteristics of A. cf. tenellus reported from circum-Pacific area are compared with each other. The paleogeographic distribution of A. tenellus seems to be restricted within Europe, while that of A. brevibrachiatus within circum-Pacific area.

Early Ordovician graptolites from the Mungok Formation of Yeongwol area, Korea comprise seven species belonging to six genera: Callograptus curvithecalis, Callograptus sinicus, Aspidograptus lotolatzensis, Dendrograptus suni, Dictyonema uniforme, Adelograptus cf. tenellus, and Psigraptus jacksoni. Two graptolite zones with three subzones are recognized in the eight sections of the Mungok Formation. The Adelograptus Zone is correlated with (1) La 1b of the Lancefield Formation of Victoria, Australia, (2) the Adelograptus-Clonograptus Zone of the Yehli Formation of Jilin, China, and (3) the Adelograptus Zone of the Road River Formation of Yukon, Canada. It suggests that the upper part of the Mungok Formation corresponds to early Late Tremadocian of Early Ordovician.

강원도 영월 화병 지역의 문곡층 상부에서 4속 5종의 필석 화석을 Dendrograptus sp., Callograptus curvithecalis Mu 1955, Adelograptus tenellus Linnarsson, 1871, Adelograptus sp. 그리고 Psigraptus jacksoni Rickards and Stait, 1984로 분류하여 기재하였다. 이들의 대부분은 한국에서 두 번째 보고되는 것이며 특히, Psigraptus는 캐나다 유콘(Yukon), 오스트레일리아의 빅토리아(Vctoria)와 태스메니아(Tasmania), 중국의 질린과(Jilin) 허베이(Hebei)에 이어 세계에서 6번째 보고이다. 문곡층 상부에서 산출된 화석에 의해 Adelograptus대, Callograptus-Dendrograptus대 및 Psigraptus대로 세 개의 필석 생물대가 인지된다. 이들 필석 생물대는 오스트레일리아 란스필드 지역에 분포하는 란스 필드층(Lancefield Formation)의 La 1.5대와 캐나다 유콘 지역의 로드리버층 (Road River Formation)의 Psigraptus대 및 북중국 질린 지역의 엘리층(Yehli Formation)의 Psigraptus대와 대비된다. 화병 지역에 분포한 문곡층 상부에서 산출되는 필석 화석은 이 층의 상부가 후기 트레마독(Tremadoc)의 초기임을 지시한다.
