Use in stratigraphy

[edit]

The Bashkirian, the oldest age of the Pennsylvanian (also known as Upper Carboniferous), contains six biozones based on conodont index fossils, two of which are named after Declinognathodus species:

  • the zone of Declinognathodus marginodosus,
  • the zone of Declinognathodus noduliferus.

The GSSP point is at Arrow Canyon, Nevada, USA, with the first appearance of Declinognathodus noduliferus sensu lato.

The base of the Moscovian, the second stage in the Pennsylvanian, is close to the first appearances of the conodonts Declinognathodus donetzianus Nemirovskaya, 1990 and Diplognathodus ellesmerensis Bender, 1980. The Moscovian can biostratigraphically be divided into five conodont biozones, one of which is named after a Declinognathodus species : the zone of Declinognathodus donetzianus. The GSSP candidate sections are the Ural Mountains or in Naqing (Nashui), Luodian County, Guizhou, China.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
