Ordovician 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.
