Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides detailed information on the occurrence of an important group of fossils, within each system, and is an up-to-date summary of all known and much new research which should prove of value to scientists and teachers in industry and research.;The work takes on added relevance in view of the recent upsurge of interest in the exploration of palaeozoic rocks on-shore, where conodonts are a foremost microfossil group of great value in applied micropalaeontology. Geologists in petroleum and mineral exploration should find the plates, diagnoses and recorded range of the species particularly valuable; the high quality of the plates presents a clear visual image of the characteristic fauna from each portion of the stratigraphic column. Range charts should prove useful as a guide to the basis for the recognition of fossil zones.
