Initially they were known only from tooth-like microfossils called conodont elements.

Quantitative analysis of conodont element functional morphology.

Correlation is based on high-resolution conodont zones which have an average duration of only 60kyr.

For instance, the conodont Eoplacognathus pseudoplanus has a short range in the Middle Ordovician period.

Conodont evolution took the latter route, allowing them to apply enough pressure to break up their food.

Fossil of a primitive eel called a conodont.

Many conodont elements formed notched blades, similar to the cheek teeth of modern mammal carnivores like cats and dogs.

- Conodonts are extinct chordates resembling eels, classified in the class Conodonta. For many years, they were known only from tooth-like microfossils now called conodont elements, found in isolation. Knowledge about soft tissues remains relatively sparse to this day. ...
- (Conodonts) Conodont fossils are small and tooth like, found mainly in rocks of 570-245 million years old. In some places they are so abundant that they are used for dating rocks. The 'conodont animal is a 40mm long worm shaped animal with the teeth shaped structures in the head region.
- Conodonts are a group of extinct microscopic marine, worm-like animals that lived from 570 to 200 mya. Their fossil remains are used to date rocks.
- Conodonts are small, disjunct fossil elements assigned to the order Conodontophorida; they are commonly tooth-like in form but not function; they are produced by small marine animals of uncertain affinity. Source: Bates and Jackson (1984)
- An early, soft-bodied vertebrate with prominent eyes and dental elements.
- A Paleozoic, toothlike fossil probably from an extinct marine vertebrate [LCOTE]
