Fasciculus is an extinct genus of stem-group ctenophores. It contains one species: the type species Fasciculus vesanus, known only from the holotype USNM 139215, found in the Phyllopod bed of the Burgess Shale. F. vesanus is unique among both crown-group and stem-group ctenophores for its large number of comb rows (80 comb rows in total) that were arranged in central and marginal zones rather than radially as in other ctenophores.
