Prioniodinidae

Sa element of Oulodus panuarensis, from Institute of Geology at TUT.


Belongs within: Prioniodinida.
Contains: Ligonodininae, Bactrognathidae, Gondolellidae, Ellisoniidae.

The Prioniodinidae are a family of conodonts with sexi- or septimembrate apparatus including digyrate P and S elements. Taxa assigned to the Prioniodinidae are known from the Middle Ordovician to the end of the Carboniferous, though they also included the ancestors of the Gondolellidae and Ellisoniidae that survived into the Late Triassic (Sweet 1988).
