ʻConodont pearlsʼ do not belong to conodonts
Lethaia, 2021We investigated the mineralogical and chemical signatures of enigmatic microspherules commonly recovered in conodont residues and referred to in literature as 'conodont pearls.' Comparison between these 'pearls,' associated conodonts and other phosphatic skeletal elements present in the same stratigraphical level was run in an effort to reveal any ...

The discovery of fossilized conodont soft tissues has led to suggestions that these enigmatic animals were among the earliest vertebrates and that they were macrophagous, using their oropharyngeal skeletal apparatus to capture and process prey. These conclusions have proved controversial.

Science, 1976
Conodonts are zoologically enigmatic, toothlike phosphatic microfossils occurring in marine sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Cambrian to Triassic. Dimpled spheres of less than 1 millimeter in diameter are sporadic associates of conodonts and have identical chemical composition and microstructure.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1993
Abstract Specimens from the Carboniferous Granton shrimp bed of Edinburgh, Scotland, provide the most complete record of conodont anatomy. Ten specimens are now known, six of which are previously undescribed, and form the basis of a new description and restoration of the conodont animal.

Lethaia, 1983
A unique specimen of a small, elongate, soft-bodied animal from the Lower Carboniferous of the Edinburgh district, Scotland, is described. The head expands anteriorly into two lobate structures flanking a central lumen; behind this lies a conodont apparatus, apparently in situ, consisting of an aligned set of ramiform elements followed by a pair of ...

Conodonts and Biostratigraphic Correlation
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1986At its 1969 meeting, The Pander Society convened a symposium on conodont biostratigraphy that resulted in a volume (Sweet & Bergstrom 1971a) in which specialists systematically summarized the status of conodont-based biostratigraphy up to 1969. One function of such a volume is to direct attention to areas that need more work and to focus on conclusions

Geology Today, 2015
Conodonts were small, thin, elongate jawless creatures that were a common component of the marine fauna from the late Cambrian, throughout the Palaeozoic and into the Triassic. For the majority of conodont research history, speculations on conodont affinity were restricted to the histology and arrangement of their mineralized tissues—‘conodont elements’

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1969
The known distribution of conodonts in the Cambrian of Europe, Asia, and North America is not uniform, but no major discrepancies in stratigraphic range of form species has been noted. The oldest reliably dated conodont known is a Hertzina species which is known in upper Middle Cambrian rocks in Nevada and Bornholm (Denmark).

On the Affinities of Conodonts
1972Conodonts are phosphatic, denticulated structures in the average size range from 0.1 to 1 mm. They grew by the centrifugal accretion of lamellae. Conodonts are a homogeneous group. Basic interpretations must apply to all kinds of conodonts. Internal and outer morphologic features indicate that they were skeletal elements designed to lend a certain ...
