Guadalupian (Middle Permian) Conodonts of Sponge-Bearing Limestones from the Margins of the Delaware Basin, West Texas
The Guadalupian Series (with Roadian, Wordian and Capitanian stages in ascending order) is very suitable for world-wide application as the Middle Permian standard. The conodont faunas of the Delaware Basin and its slope are dominated by pelagic forms represented by ribbed Mesogondolella restricted t...
