Streptognathodus is an extinct genus of
Early Permian
.
Use in stratigraphy
Late Carboniferous
The top of the Kasimovian stage is close to the first appearance of Streptognathodus zethus. The golden spike for the Kasimovian stage has not yet been assigned (in 2008).
The Kasimovian is subdivided into three conodont biozones:
- Idiognathodus toretzianus Zone
- Idiognathodus sagittatus Zone
- Streptognathodus excelsus and Streptognathodus makhlinae Zone
The base of the Gzhelian is at the first appearance of Streptognathodus zethus. The top of the stage (also the top base of the Silesian and the base of the Permian system) is at the first appearance of Streptognathodus isolatus within the Streptognathus "wabaunsensis" chronocline.[2]
The Gzhelian stage is subdivided into five biozones, based on the conodont genus Streptognathodus:
- Streptognathodus wabaunsensis and Streptognathodus bellus Zone
- Streptognathodus simplex Zone
- Streptognathodus virgilicus Zone
- Streptognathodus vitali Zone
- Streptognathodus simulator Zone
Early Permian
The base of the
Aqtöbe in the Ural Mountains of Kazakhstan.[3] The top of the Asselian stage (the base of the Sakmarian
stage) is at the first appearance of the species Streptognathodus postfusus.
The Asselian contains five conodont biozones:
- zone of Streptognathodus barskovi
- zone of Streptognathodus postfusus
- zone of Streptognathodus fusus
- zone of Streptognathodus constrictus
- zone of Streptognathodus isolatus
The base of the
Mesogondolella bisselli
first appear.
