Walter C. Sweet

	Walter C. Sweet Walter C. Sweet (17 October 1927 in Denver, Colorado – 4 December 2015 in Tucson, Arizona) was an American paleontologist. He was a Chief Panderer of the Pander Society, an informal organisation founded in 1967 for the promotion of the study of conodont palaeontology. In 1984, he was president of the Paleontological Society, an international organisation devoted to the promotion of paleontology. In 1979, he described the conodont genus ''Culumbodina''. In 1988, he described the conodont order Proconodontida and the conodont family Gnathodontidae.The Conodonta: morphology, taxonomy, paleoecology, and evolutionary history of a long-extinct animal phylum. WC Sweet, 1988, Oxford University Press, USA Awards and tributes He received the Pander Medal, the Paleontological Society Medal in 1994 and the Raymond C. Moore Medal in 1988. The conodont genus ''Sweetognathus'' is named in his honour. References * Stig Bergström and Walter C. Sweet, The generic concept in conodont ...

	Pander Society The Pander Society is an informal organisation founded in 1967 for the promotion of the study of conodont palaeontology. It publishes an annual newsletter. Although there are regular meetings of the Pander Society, at the Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America, at European Conodont Symposia (ECOS for short), and elsewhere, any meeting of three or more "Panderers" is considered an official meeting of the "Pander Society". The society is headed by the Chief Panderer, currently Maria Cristina Perri of the Università di Bologna. The society confers two awards, the Pander Medal for a lifetime of achievement in conodont palaeontology, and the Hinde Medal for an outstanding contribution to conodont palaeontology by a young Panderer. Heinz Christian Pander (1794–1865) is credited as the first scientist to describe primitive creatures known as conodonts. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Raymond C Raymond is a male given name. It was borrowed into English from French (older French spellings were Reimund and Raimund, whereas the modern English and French spellings are identical). It originated as the Germanic ᚱᚨᚷᛁᚾᛗᚢᚾᛞ (''Raginmund'') or ᚱᛖᚷᛁᚾᛗᚢᚾᛞ (''Reginmund''). ''Ragin'' (Gothic) and ''regin'' (Old German) meant "counsel". The Old High German ''mund'' originally meant "hand", but came to mean "protection". This etymology suggests that the name originated in the Early Middle Ages, possibly from Latin. Alternatively, the name can also be derived from Germanic Hraidmund, the first element being ''Hraid'', possibly meaning "fame" (compare ''Hrod'', found in names such as Robert, Roderick, Rudolph, Roland, Rodney and Roger) and ''mund'' meaning "protector". Despite the German and French origins of the English name, some of its early uses in English documents appear in Latinized form. As a surname, its first recorded appearance in Br ...

	Sweetognathus ''Sweetognathus'' is an extinct genus of conodonts in the family Sweetognathidae that evolved at the beginning of the Permian period (298.9 Ma), in near-equatorial, shallow-water seas. The genus is characterized by pustulose ornamentation on a wide, flat-topped carina. It originated in the earliest Permian as ''S. expansus'' from '' Diplognathodus edentulus''. ''Sweetognathus'' forms a species complex. The genus is named after paleontologist Walter C. Sweet. It has been found that recurrent parallel species pairs have occurred throughout ''Sweetognathus'' evolution between populations originating in Bolivia, the Mid-Western Unitied States, and Russia. Parallelisms have been found to occur in the denticle morphologies of their platform elements. Use in stratigraphy According to the List of Global Boundary Stratotype Sections and Points, the species ''Sweetognathus whitei'' made its first appearance during the Artinskian (some 290.1 ± 0.26 mya), in the Permian of the Ural ...

	Stig Bergström Stig M. Bergström (born 12 June 1935 in Skövde) is a Swedish-American paleontologist. In 1981, he described the conodont family Paracordylodontidae. In 1974, he described the multielement conodont genus '' Appalachignathus'' from the Middle Ordovician of North America. Awards and tributes He received the Pander Medal by the Pander Society. In 1999, he received the Raymond C. Moore Medal, awarded by the Society for Sedimentary Geology to persons who have made significant contributions in the field which have promoted the science of stratigraphy by research in paleontology and evolution and the use of fossils for interpretations of paleoecology. In 2011, he received the Paleontological Society Medal.

picture info	Ohio State University The Ohio State University, commonly called Ohio State or OSU, is a public land-grant research university in Columbus, Ohio. A member of the University System of Ohio, it has been ranked by major institutional rankings among the best public universities in the United States. Founded in 1870 as the state's land-grant university and the ninth university in Ohio with the Morrill Act of 1862, Ohio State was originally known as the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College and focused on various agricultural and mechanical disciplines, but it developed into a comprehensive university under the direction of then-Governor and later U.S. president Rutherford B. Hayes, and in 1878, the Ohio General Assembly passed a law changing the name to "the Ohio State University" and broadening the scope of the university. Admission standards tightened and became greatly more selective throughout the 2000s and 2010s. Ohio State's political science department and faculty have greatly contri ...

picture info	Conodont Specialists 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 o ...
