Short summary
The conodont Neogondolella regalis is an unusual species for its genus. This paper reconstructs the complete feeding apparatus of this organism based on specimens collected from British Columbia, Canada. This new reconstruction of the complete apparatus demonstrates that this species is different from others belonging to the genus Neogondolella and suggests that a new genus should be created. This has implications for dating and correlating rocks from the Pacific Cordillera (Canada).
