The workshop will consist of a series of presentations by participants followed by a break-out sessions where participants may view fossils and other evidence cited in the presentations. The focus of the workshop and break-out session will center around discussion and debate of macro-, meso-, micromorphological, and/or geochemical evidence of conodont ecology and food processing ability. In particular, we plan to engage the conodont community to provide evidence for and constraints on the food processing function(s) of conodont elements, and to bring evidence that supports their models for or against wear on conodont elements. Submission of presentations shall be open.
