Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
T. Y. Tolmacheva et al. 2024Small hyaline conodonts have a high base and an inclined cusp and pointed costas with thin edges extending from the apical part of the cusp to the basal edge of the base. The apparatus of the species includes four main types of elements: dolaborate elements with an anterior and a posterior costa, quadricostate elements with an anterior, a posterior, and lateral costas, symmetrical quinquicostate elements with five costas, and bipennate scandodontiform elements.
