Here is a picture of a recently found conodont fossil fragment. It appears to be a Bryantodus mundus. The fossil was found in the Jacobs Chapel Shale of Clark County, Indiana, USA which dates to the Mississippian Period.
Thanks to Kenny for the picture.
Mike, this should be Bryantodus scitulus by Branson & Mehl. I have used the Conodonts of the Jacobs Chapel Shale by Carl Rexroad, Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources Geological Survey Bull. 41, to correct this ID, sorry for the mistake. The document has very good plates.
