Abstract

ABSTRACT - A Famennian conodont fauna, restricted generally to palmato­lepid biofacies, is obtained from Ayine Burnu in the southwest of Büyükada, Ýstanbul. A total of 31 species and subspecies are identified and figured, three of which are new: Mehlina arcuata n. sp., Palmatolepis glabra angusta n. subsp., Polygnathus longiusculus n. sp.; one species (Polygnathus n. sp. A.) is not formally named.

            This fauna represents the Upper rhomboidea and Lower marginifera Zones, and its age range corresponds to middle Famen­nian.
