Indiana Devonian Conodont Microfossils

Conodonts are extinct chordates resembling eels, classified in the class Conodonta. For many years, they were known only from tooth-like microfossils now called conodont elements, found in isolation. The animals are also called Conodontophora (conodont bearers) to avoid ambiguity.

The Beechwood Member of the Vernon Limestone contains a typical Upper Indiana Devonian Conodont fauna. The Beechwood
is a marine limestone that represents a transitional deposit from the end of the Famennian (latest Devonian) and grades
without interruption into deposits of the Kinderhookian (earliest Mississippian).

Each specimen is mounted in a micropalaeontology well-slide and housed in an aluminum slip case with glass cover slide.
This packaging makes the fossils a little more expensive than I  would normally charge, but I consider it acceptable
because of the easier access and greater protection afforded the specimen. Each of these specimens measures approx. ~1 mm

 

I have several specimens of each type available.  Photos are representative of the specimen you will receive.
