I have a few dozen conodonts that I'm in the process of photographing and mounting for storage. Among my collection, I have several Polygnathus linguiformis examples. Last night, I mounted two P. linguiformis on my "Conodonts II" storage card. This one caught my attention: That pale growth on the underside struck me as odd, especially compared to the other P. linguiformis that I handled last night: So I went to look at the P. linguiformis that I'd previously mounted. Here are 3 of the 4 for comparison: I also looked at the page in "Conodonts from the Genesee Formation in Western New York" that shows a number of P. linguiformis for further comparison. While several show liplike growths on the back, none are quite as pronounced as the first specimen I showed here. I'd be curious to see what other collectors think about this set. Do I have a pathology, or is this an element from a really old individual?
