Growth and feeding ecology of coniform conodonts [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Conodonts were the first vertebrates to develop mineralized dental tools, known as elements. Recent research suggests that conodonts were macrophagous predators and/or scavengers but we do not know how this feeding habit emerged in the earliest coniform ...

Upper Norian conodonts from the Baoshan block, western Yunnan, southwestern China, and implications for conodont turnover [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 The Sevatian of the late Norian is one of the key intervals in biotic turnover and in changes of paleoclimate and paleoenvironments. Conodont faunas recovered from two sections of upper Norian strata of the Dashuitang and Nanshuba formations near Baoshan

Boundary between the Porkuni and Juuru regional stages in the Neitla section, Estonia [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Conodonts and chitinozoans were studied from the Neitla section, which exposes the boundary between the Porkuni and Juuru regional stages. This level, although not proved biostratigraphically, has been traditionally considered to correspond to the ...

Biostratigraphy, biofacies, and palaeoecology of the Upper Devonian deposits (Khoshyeilagh Formation) based on conodonts in the northeast of Iran (around Bojnord and Jajarm) [PDF]
Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2021 In this study, the paleoecology, biostratigraphy, and biofacies of the Khoshyeilagh Formation hve been evaluated based on the found conodont species. The Khoshyeilagh Formation includes terrigenous-carbonate sequences, which contain conodonts of shallow ...

Lower Jurassic conodonts from the Inuyama area of Japan: implications for conodont extinction
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 It is generally accepted that conodonts went extinct at the end of the Triassic, but younger conodont fossils have been reported, and it is becoming clear that conodont extinction occurred asynchronously across different regions. Although some reports of

New contributions to the Ordovician biostratigraphy of the Western Precordillera, Argentina [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Upper Ordovician graptolites and conodonts are recorded from the Yerba Loca Formation in two sections, in the El Toro and Las Viudas creeks, from the El Tigre Range in the Western Precordillera of San Juan Province, Argentina. A collection of graptolites

Automatic identification of conodont species using fine-grained convolutional neural networks
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Conodonts are jawless vertebrates deposited in marine strata from the Cambrian to the Triassic that play an important role in geoscience research. The accurate identification of conodonts requires experienced professional researchers. The process is time-

Aras Valley (northwest Iran): high-resolution stratigraphy of a continuous central Tethyan Permian–Triassic boundary section [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2020 The Permian–Triassic boundary section in the Aras Valley in NW Iran is investigated with respect to carbonate microfacies, biostratigraphy (particularly conodonts, nautiloids, and ammonoids), chemostratigraphy (carbon isotopes), and environmental setting.

The Evae transgression: a major event? [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 The most extensive sea-level event of the Early Ordovician is known as the Evae transgression. During the highstand of this event, the conodont index species Oepikodus evae reached its acme and often coincided with the peak in conodont generic diversity.
