The Class Conodonta is further organized into finer groupings including:
- Order (1): Conodontophorida
- Species: ZipcodeZoo has pages for 357 species and subspecies in the Class Conodonta.
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. The animals are also called Conodontophora (conodont bearers) to avoid ambiguity. [more]
At least 638 species and subspecies belong to the Order Conodontophorida.
