S3 Ep6. Dr Duncan Murdock's fave fossil - Notiodella (the Conodont)

This Palaeoparty! Short is about one of the most mysterious and weird fossils - the conodonts. We've known about conodonts since the 1850's, but had no idea what the animal looked like - it wasn't until the 1980s that scientists found a fossil conodont with soft-tissues! In this episode, Dr Duncan Murdock talks to us about his favorite fossil beasties and one conodont in particular: Notiodella keblon, a 450 million year old conodont from South Africa. Find out why these critters are so weird, but also why conodonts are a super important group of fossils.

PalaeoParty! Shorts is a new weekly podcast where we ask palaeontologists and allied workers about their favourite fossil. Each episode drops on #FossilFriday and is accompanied by a mini-poster on your website.

Normally we live stream on Twitch so you can chat and ask our guests questions in real time! Find our future schedule at our website: https://palaeoparty.weebly.com/ or at https://twitch.tv/palaeoparty. PalaeoParty! is run by Dr Emma Dunne, Dr Chris Dean and Dr Thomas Clements. This season is generously funded by the Paleontological Society Outreach and Education Grant.
