Paleonet: New Publication Available

[Paula M Mikkelsen]

Paleontological Research Institution is proud to announce publication of a
new issue in its occasional monographic series, *Palaeontographica Americana
*.

*Conodont Studies Commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the First Conodont
Paper (Pander, 1856) and the 40th Anniversary of the Pander Society, *edited
by D. Jeffrey Over, *Palaeontographica Americana* no. 62 (152 pp., ISBN
978-0-87710-483-4, softcover), US $60.00, available after 5 March 2009.
Conodonts are extinct chordates known mainly from tooth-like microfossils in
Late Cambrian to Late Triassic fossil deposits (495 to 200 MYA). The nine
manuscripts in this volume were, for the most part, first presented at
conferences dedicated to conodont studies in 2006-2007 that each celebrated
two milestones in conodont studies, the 150th anniversary of Christian H.
Pander’s 1856 paper that first described and illustrated conodonts, and the
organization of the society for conodont enthusiasts that now bears his name
in 1967. These papers cover a wide range of topics, times, and regions,
illustrating the broad utility of conodonts, primarily as biostratigraphic
tools, but also in studies of, although not limited to, geochemistry,
paleobiology, paleogeography, and sequence stratigraphy. This volume is
dedicated to William M. Furnish (1912-2007) one of the pioneer practitioners
of conodont studies, a gentleman, scientist, and fine teacher who in passing
has left us all poorer.
