Abstract

The paper describes a conodont fauna from the Namurian of North Staffordshire. Seventeen genera and thirty-four species are identified in the fauna, of which Hibbardella fragilis, Hibbardella pennata, Lambdagnathus macrodentata, Mestognathus bipluti, Neoprioniodus spathatus, and Subbryantodus subaequalis are new species. The composition of the fauna and its correlation with similar faunas in the United States of America and Germany are discussed.
