Conodont
Conodonts (Greek ''kōnos'', "cone", + ''odont'', "tooth") are an extinct group of agnathan (jawless) vertebrates resembling eels, classified in the class Conodonta. For many years, they were known only from their tooth-like oral elements, which are usually found in isolation and are now called conodont elements. Knowledge about soft tissues remains limited. They existed in the world's oceans for over 300 million years, from the Cambrian to the beginning of the Jurassic. Conodont elements are widely used as index fossils, fossils used to define and identify geological periods. The animals are also called Conodontophora (conodont bearers) to avoid ambiguity. Discovery and understanding of conodonts The teeth-like fossils of the conodont were first discovered by Heinz Christian Pander and the results published in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in 1856. The name ''pander'' is commonly used in scientific names of conodonts. It was only in the early 1980s that the first fossil evidence of ...

Clarkina
''Clarkina'' is an extinct genus of conodonts. It is considered to be an offshore, outer shelf or basinal, deep-water taxon. The genus name is a tribute to David Leigh Clark. Synonyms ''Clarkina'' Soodan 1975 is a junior synonym for the prehistoric sea cucumber '' Soodanella'' Huddleston 1982 in the family Priscopedatidae. ''Clarkina'' Jordan & Evermann, 1927 is a junior synonym for the cyprinid fish genus ''Mylocheilus'' Agassiz, 1855. Use in stratigraphy The top of the Capitanian (or the base of the Wuchiapingian) is defined as the place in the stratigraphic record where the conodont subspecies ''Clarkina postbitteri postbitteri'' first appears. The top of the Wuchiapingian (or the base of the Changhsingian) is defined as the place in the stratigraphic record where the conodont species ''Clarkina wangi'' first appears.
