Description
Summary:A succession of late Early through Medial Permian conodont faunas is documented for the first time from the calcareous, fine grained, quartzose sandstones of the Assistance and Trold Fiord Formations on northern Elles-mere Island, Northwest Territories. Of the taxa identified and described, one species and three subspecies are proposed as new. The taxa include, in chronological order: Neogondolella idahoensis subsp. indet., Neostrep-tognathodus prayi, Neogondolella idahoensis n.subsp. A, Anchignathodus minutus, Neogondolella serrata(?), N. n.sp. B, N. postserrata(?), N. bitteri n.subsp. C, and N. rosenkrantzi n.subsp. D. Numerous ramiform elements are also associated with Neogondolella idahoensis n.subsp. A. These elements may comprise part of a multielement Neogondolella apparatus or they may represent separate form species. In observation of their questionable status, a somewhat unsatisfactory dual taxonomy is proposed for these elements, and includes the following taxa: N. idahoensis n.subsp. A - ...
