Abstract
The history of conodonts originated in 1856 when Pander introduced the term “Conodonten” for describing tiny fossils, initially considered as the teeth of fossil fishes. Pander’s work triggered numerous researchers to study not only their phylogeny and taxonomy but also their stratigraphical range, as they have been reported from several locations around the world, such as Greece. Paleozoic and Mesozoic formations/outcrops of mainly central and south Greek peninsula comprise conodont assemblages; therefore, they have been the subject of research already from 1958 by Huckriede which continues until this century. Nine areas have been studied in total: 5 of them referred to the mainland (Central Greece, Beotia, Evia, Attica, Peloponnesus) and 4 to islands (Hydra, Chios, Corfu and Crete Island) with 80 localities and over than 100 sections/outcrops. Ninety genera have been reported from the Greek territory, with plethora of representatives. Worth mentioning is that from the Greek material, three new genera were identified, Anastrophognathus, Neogondolella, and Tardogondolella by Bender in 1968b, and also 19 new species were described for the first time.

1 Introduction
Conodonts (Conodonta Eichenberg, 1930) refer to small marine organisms of an extinct group of fossil animals that lived from the Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic eras (e.g., Spasov and Ganev 1960). Conodonts were introduced and described for the first time by Pander in 1856. His discovery of these microfossil findings of Paleozoic strata of Baltic provinces and Moscow environs was phosphatic teeth-like parts (calcium phosphate or apatitic conodont “elements”) and initiated a vigorous debate regarding their biology and affinity for more than 130 years. Hence, along these years, a great number of papers dealt with their morphology, anatomy, distribution, and taxonomy (e.g., Huckriede 1958; Lindström 1964; Kozur 1975; Müller 1981; Murdock et al. 2013). Moreover, conodonts are one of the most important and widespread—though quite enigmatic as it will be explained below—microfossils, which have an excellent fossil record from the Cambrian to Triassic; thus they own biozones (e.g., Walliser 1964; Ziegler and Sandberg 1990).
The conodont fossil record from Greece includes 90 genera, 348 species and 74 subspecies from 80 localities/sections (e.g., Bender et al. 1960; Vrielynck 1978a; Kozur and Krahl 1984; Appendix). The oldest record comes from the Silurian to Carboniferous of Chios Island (e.g., Kauffmann 1965; Herget and Roth 1968) and from the Carboniferous of Attica (Caridroit et al. 2000). The rest of the localities correspond to the Triassic Period (e.g., Flament 1973; Muttoni et al. 2014).
2 Historical Overview
In 1856, Christian Heinrich Pander (one of the founders of embryology and paleontology in Russia) in his monograph introduced and described conodonts for the first time. Pander regarded these tiny specimens (minute teeth-like remains composed of pure calcium carbonate)—from which he derived the concept of “Conodonten”—as the teeth and/or jaws of an unknown group of fossil fishes. However, he reported that the structure of those teeth showed several and strong differentiations in icthyological character from all known fish, which led him to the impression that these fossils were not fish teeth. Pander also noted the lack of bone findings, indicating that conodonts did not have hard parts; thus he suggested that the fossils could be related to hagfish or lampreys. Because of this, Pander used a conservative way to describe these specimens: each species was interpreted to have teeth of a single morphology. Consequently, the systematic taxonomy of his monograph concluded the establishment of 13 genera with 55 newly named species. Later, Ulrich and Bassler (1926) of the US National Museum accepted the idea of Pander’s conodonts and proposed a more extensive classification model of the group. They described many new species from Devonian and Mississippian rocks in the southeastern United States and were the first to recognize their biostratigraphic usefulness. In the early 1930s, conodonts became the main interest and paleontologic curiosities for paleontologists around the world. Among them, Branson and Mehl (1934a, b) and their students (at the University of Missouri) studied the Middle Ordovician to Lower Carboniferous of eastern and central United States under an extensive program of conodont research and produced a considerably expanded taxonomy and knowledge of their nature. Interest in conodonts grew dramatically, and the number of paleontologists interested in this enigmatic group increased greatly, due primarily to the establishment of this major research program. In 1934, Schmidt and Scott discovered groups of individual elements preserved together in the same black shale bedding plain. This important discovery led to the hypothesis that the individual elements were held in pairs (termed an apparatus) when in life, often likened to mouthparts. From the 1960s onward, conodonts have developed into one of the most important biostratigraphic tools available for the study of Palaeozoic and Triassic sequences.
3 Conodont Classification and the Great Fossil Enigma
Based on Pander’s doubts about the uncertain origin of conodonts, many scenarios were suggested for their phylogenetic position. The unsolved puzzle of the true nature of conodonts remains, until nowadays, the main subject for more than a hundred papers that deal with a plethora of hypotheses on the function of the conodont and their affinity, or the identity of the organism that bore them.
Isolated conodonts are widespread and abundant. Until the 1980s, their biological affinities were still not known. Conodonts have been variously interpreted as the remains of plants (algae, vascular plants), conulariids, aschelminthes (copulatory structures of nematodes, priapulids, teeth of rotifers, gastrotrichs, kinorhynchs), and gnathostomulids; as molluscan radulae of various kinds, annelid jaws, and arthropod organs (but not since the last century); and as elements of lophophorates, chaetognaths, and chordates such as agnathans (including cyclostomes), selachians, ostracoderms, placoderms, and various kinds of primitive vertebrates (Hass 1962; Müller 1981). In the 1980s, many paleontologists (e.g., Clark 1981; Briggs et al. 1983; Gould 1983) placed conodonts in a separated phylum, Conodonta, because the morphological features of specimens do not resolve the question of conodont function and origin. According to Tillier and Cuif (1986), conodonts were invertebrates that resemble to aplacophoran molluscs, but this speculation was turned down by Briggs et al. (1987), a few years later. Janvier (1981) supported the hypotheses of Tillier and Cuif (1986) only to revise his original thoughts a few years later (e.g., Janvier 1995). Nonetheless, the great controversy lied in the phylogenetic relationship of conodonts with two other groups: chaetognaths and chordates. The chaetognaths that have only recently been the object of detailed investigation (Repetski and Szaniawski 1981; Szaniawski 1982) are small marine worms, dorsoventrally flattened, with horizontal fins, grasping spines, while they are mostly planktic (Hyman 1959). Rietschel (1973) noted the similarity between conodonts and the grasping spines of chaetognaths, suggesting that conodonts might have functioned in the same way.
As regards possibility of a vertebrate, chordate affinity for the conodonts has received more attention than any other (e.g., Schmidt in Schmidt and Müller 1964; Müller 1981). Sansom et al. (1992) and subsequent papers supported that conodont hard tissues are homologous to vertebrate tissues, since the discoveries of two findings of nearly complete animals. These results and the current knowledge of the anatomy of conodonts derived from two enlightening fossil findings, based on the form and the features of the soft-tissue remains. The first refers to a well-preserved new specimen from the Upper Ordovician Soom Shale of South Africa. This giant conodont Promissum pulchrum reveals details of the trunk musculature, feeding apparatus, and eyes. The preserved length is 109 mm but in its entire length reaches approximately 400 mm (Gabbott et al. 1995). The second particularly important discovery by Briggs et al. in 1983 comes from the Lower Carboniferous Granton Shrimp Bed of Edinburgh and was the species Clydagnathus windsorensis . This specimen refers to a wormlike, elongate (40.5 mm long and mostly less than 1.95 mm wide) organism that was most likely flattened in life. The preserved region of the head includes the conodont apparatus and the anterior one-third of the trunk. In the tail region, the presence of two distinct groups of fin rays on one side of the trunk suggests that two caudal fins may have been present (Briggs et al. 1983). Several specimens have been recovered from the same area, representing more or less complete conodont organisms, while the careful study and description of them came by Aldridge et al. (1986, 1993) and Aldridge (1987).
Although Aldridge et al. (1986) and Aldridge (1987) concluded that conodonts are related to myxinoids because of the laterally compressed body, large eyes, bilaterally feeding apparatus, myomeres, notochord, and a tail fin, there are still controversies about their phylogenetic position within the vertebrates. The presence of a notochord is a plesiomorphic chordate character shared with the protochordates (Urochordata and Cephalochordata) and the craniates, whereas the chevron-shaped muscle blocks are normally regarded as limited to the cephalochordates and craniates (e.g., Maisey 1986). Several authors related conodonts to craniates (e.g., Janvier 1983; Dzik 1986; Smith and Hall 1990). Janvier (1996) was the first who conducted computer-based parsimony analysis resulting in the affinity of conodonts with vertebrate groups, as a sister group of the lampreys. Later, Donoghue et al. (2000) reapplied a phylogenetic analysis where conodonts were placed between cyclostomes and other vertebrates, more derived than both hagfishes and lampreys, due to their calcified dermal skeleton. The position of conodonts as extinct chordates, more derived than living jawless vertebrates, but basal to those with jaws, has been established by cladistic analysis and has been summarized by Sweet and Donoghue (2001).
4 Distribution
The fossil record of conodonts is a well-studied subject in Greece already from the early 1960s. The study areas referred to localities across different regions of the central, south, as well as islands of the Hellenic territory (Fig. 1), where Paleozoic to lower Mesozoic (Triassic) sequences occur. From Central Greece, nine localities have been studied, including Pyli Trikala, Mt. East Koziakas, Mt. Othrys, Mt. Iti (Latsinies), Mt. Vardoussia, Kotsilieri, Galaxidi (Koutsouros–Kokkinovrakhos), Psilovrakhos–Karpenisi–Fragista, and Nafpaktos. Conodonts have been recorded also from Beotia (Mt. Helicon), Evia (Xirovouni–Seta), and Attica (Mt. Parnis). Three main areas of Peloponnesus were studied, Achaia (Priolithos–Drimos and Klitoria), Messinia (Mathia–Achladochori and Mt. Ithome), and Argolis (Asklepieion of Epidaurus, Theokafta, Adhami, Alogomandra, Maurovouni–Prosimi–Stefanion, Profitis Ilias, Moni Taxiarchis–Tsoukalia, Trapezona, Midhea, Karafotia–Trahla, Iliokastro–Kastro Hill). Concerning the islands, Hydra has been the subject of study of many researchers in numerous outcrops (Zogeika, Agios Nikolaos Monastery, Agia Triada, Mandraki–Hydra Chora, Malies, Klimaki, Pirghos, Agios Taxiarchis, Kaminia, Vlichos, Mt. Eros, Palamidas, Agia Marina, Episkopi, Tsigkri, Bisti, and also the adjacent small Kivotos, Petassi, and Pontikos Islands). Furthermore, one of the most studied areas in Greece is Chios Island, with more than 20 investigated localities (Kambia, Keramos, Kourounia–Nenitouria, Melanios–Agio Galas, Parparia, Potamia, Amani, Kipouries, Volisos, Katavasi, Kardamyla, Metochi–Megali Rachi, Anavatos, Vrontados, Rema Armenis, Latomi, Agios Markos, Kephalovouni, Marathovouno, Marmarotrapeza, Agia Anna, Parthenis, Korakaris, and Agios Georgios Sykousis). Only one species is reported from Corfu Island (Foustapidima Cape), while western and east Crete Island has been investigated as well (Voutas, Sfinari, Kambos, Paleochora, Skafi, Myrsini, Skopi, Tripokefala, Ziros).

Xaniognathus Sweet, 1970
Type Species
Xaniognathus curvatus Sweet, 1970.
Identified Species in Greece
★Xaniognathus hydraensis, Xaniognathus turgidus, Xaniognathus sp.
Distribution
Krahl et al. (1983) have found X. turgidus and Xaniognathus sp. in the Early Triassic of Voutas (West Crete Island), while Nestell and Wardlaw (1987) have found X. hydraensis in the Wuchiapingian of Episkopi, Agios Taxiarchis, and Klimaki of Hydra Island.
Remarks
X. hydraensis has been described for the first time by Nestel and Wardlaw in 1987, from the Wuchiapingian of Hydra Island. The type locality is approximately 115 m above Agios Taxiarchis, and 7 m below the contact with the overlying Triassic Eros limestone, and consists also a limestone of the Permian sequence of Hydra Island.
6 Concluding Remarks
According to the data presented in this review work, conodonts from the Hellenic peninsula have been studied already from the beginning of 1960 until nowadays by a great number of researchers. The existence of these assemblages has been reported from several formations/outcrops around the Greek territory, spanning the Silurian to Triassic periods. Most of the sites belong to deposits of the Sub-Pelagonian geotectonic unit, while some of them belong to Pindos and Trypali units. Finally, only one site (Corfu) is reported from the Ionian unit. The aforementioned localities belong mainly to the central and south Greece. Distinctly, 5 of them referred to the mainland, Central Greece, Beotia, Evia, Attica, and Peloponnesus, while the rest to the 4 Islands of Hydra, Chios, Corfu, and Crete, with over than 80 localities and many more outcrops. The most studied regions are Argolida, Hydra, and Chios Island; nevertheless the most stratigraphically completed ones are Chios (Silurian to Upper Triassic) and Crete (upper Carboniferous to Upper Triassic) Islands. The total number of recorded genera is 90 with 348 representative species and 74 subspecies.
From the mainland, and specifically Central Greece, outcrops have been studied from Pyli Trikala, East Mt. Koziakas, Mt. Othrys, Mt. Iti (Latsinies), Mt. Vardoussia, Kotsilieri, Galaxidi (Koutsouros–Kokkinovrakhos), Psilovrakhos–Karpenisi–Fragista, and Nafpaktos. The conodont fauna of all these localities comprises 24 genera and indicates a Middle to Late Triassic age. In Beotia in Mt. Helicon, the conodont assemblage consists of 19 Middle to Late Triassic genera, while the assemblage from Evia contains only 5 species that suggest a Carnian age.
From Attica, Mt. Parnis, two outcrops have been studied: the first one indicates a lower Carboniferous deposit in spite of the second one that implies Lower to lower Middle Triassic. The most studied region of the mainland is Peloponnesus, distinguished into three main subregions: Achaia, Messinia, and Argolis. Achaia and Messinia have been studied from three outcrops each that comprise 13 and 5 genera, respectively, indicating Middle to Late Triassic deposits. Argolis conodont fauna has been described from 11 distinguished localities with 36 genera catalogued that suggest Triassic deposits. Most importantly, from Argolis material four new species have been described, Epigondolella rigoi Kozur 2007, Epigondolella stefanionensis Noyan 2007, Metapolygnathus multinodosus Noyan 2007, and Neogondolella palata Bender 1968b and the genus Tardogondolella Bender 1968b.
From the Greek archipelago, the conodont research focused on four islands. The first one, Corfu Island, is less studied, with only one species reported from a Carnian formation. Secondly, from Hydra Island, 19 localities (including 3 small nearby Islands) with more than 40 outcrops have been studied that comprise a late Permian to Late Triassic conodont fauna. Moreover, from Hydra’s material a new species was identified, Xaniognathus hydraensis Nestel and Wardlaw 1987. The conodont data, from Chios Island, that sum up into this review paper present the most stratigraphically complete record, with 17 Paleozoic, 11 Mesozoic distinguished localities, and many more outcrops, that suggest a continuous succession from Silurian to Carnian. Additionally, this material led Bender in 1968b to identify two new genera, Anastrophognathus and Neogondolella. He also described 14 new species: Anastrophognathus sagittalis, Apatognathus mitzopouli, Apatognathus radiatus, Ctenognathus chionensis, Gladigondolella carinata, Hindeodella bitorta, Hindeodella ceweki, Hindeodella stoppeli, Neogondolella aegaea, Ozarkodina ? fisticulata, Ozarkodina turgida, Spathognathodus gondolelloides, Spathognathodus homeri, and Spathognathodus triangularis. The last location, Crete Island, also presents a big stratigraphic range, with 9 localities and over than 25 genera that indicate a continuous succession from Upper Carboniferous to Upper Triassic. Our results contribute to a review of conodont assemblages and to a stratigraphic assessment of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic fossiliferous deposits from the Hellenic peninsula.
