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]

Fossil specimens of Primocandelabrum from Charnwood Forest:

• Primocandelabrum aelfwynnia Kenchington & Wilby, 2017
• Primocandelabrum boyntoni Kenchington & Wilby, 2017
• Primocandelabrum aethelflaedia Kenchington & Wilby, 2017

Fossil specimens of Primocandelabrum from Bonavista Peninsula:

• Primocandelabrum Hiemaloranum Hofmann, 2008
• Primocandelabrum sp. Hofmann, 2008

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