Scolopodus peselephantis LINDSTROM, 1955<br />

(PI. 5, figs. 16, 17)<br />

Remarks: As shown by the figured specimens, the curvature of the cusp is<br />

rather variable. The posterior edge may be sharp or even keeled and it may<br />

be accompanied by two posterior-lateral grooves.<br />

Regional occurrence: At Kopingsklint this species occurs from the base of<br />

member Kk 1 up to the top of the studied sequence. In section 6 it was<br />

found frol)1 the base of member Ka-d 1 up to the top of the section. Near<br />

Horns Udde from member D h 1 up to the top of the Horns Udde Formation.<br />

Biostratigraphic range: Scolopodus peselephantis was found from the Drepanoistodus<br />

numarcuatus/Paroistodus amoenus Assemblage Zone up to and<br />

including the Triangulodus brevibasis Assemblage Zone (fig. 15).<br />

(PI. 5, fig. 18)<br />

Scolopodus rex LINDSTROM, 1955a, p. 595, PI. 3, fig. 32. LINDSTROM, 1971, pp. 40,41.<br />

Scolopodus rex paltodiformis LINDSTROM, 1955a, p. 596, PI. 3, fig. 33,34.<br />

Regional occurrence: At Kopingsklint this species was found from the base<br />

of member Kk 3 up to and including the top portion of the Bruddesta<br />

Formation. In section 6 it occurred from member Ka-d1 up to a level at<br />

about 0.20 m. above the base of the Horns Udde Formation. Near Horns<br />

Udde from the top of member Kk 2 up to a level at 1.05 m. above the base of<br />

the Horns Udde Formation.<br />

Biostratigraphic range: This species was found from the Prioniodus elegans/<br />

Oelandodus elongatus Assemblage Zone up to and including the Triangulodus<br />

Genus Stolodus LINDSTROM, 1971<br />

Type species: Distacodus stola LINDSTROM, 1955.<br />

Definition: "S'tolodus includes conodonts with wide and deep, thin sheathed<br />

base, small sub-erect cusp, and prominent costae reaching the rim of the<br />

basal cavity. There is an intraspecific symmetry transition. White matter is<br />

spread throughout the unit. The costae may possibly become denticulated"<br />

(op. cit. Lindstrom, 1971, p. 51).<br />

Remarks: As the type species of the genus Stolodus LINDSTROM is not<br />

ornamented with striae, as it has no rounded cross section of the base and as
