Use in stratigraphy

The top of the Norian (or the base of the Rhaetian, in the Late Triassic) is close to the first appearances of the conodonts Misikella spp. and Epigondolella mosheri.

gollark: This is why I try and do *lots* of screenshots, to be more accurate.
gollark: No. I intend to tell then what's happening. Apparently this misled people a bit, although I can't really source this.
gollark: Hmm. I actually can't find whatever gibson is screenshotting. Weird.
gollark: I mean "it is probably better even if I am misleading people, which I don't think I am".
gollark: If you think I'm misleading people wouldn't that be *worse*?
