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.
