A new pelagic conodont taxon of the Central Pontides (Turkey)

A new pelagic conodont taxon of the Central Pontides (Turkey)

The Hallstatt-type limestones in the Central Pontides yield abundant conodonts of the genus Gladigondolella ranging throughout the entire studied sequence and indicating Anisian to Early Carnian ages. Gladigondolella okayi n. sp. is described
