Abstract
WE present preliminary findings (Tables 1 and 2) of the distribution of conodonts in the Upper Viséan strata of North Wales and the Irish Republic, two regions in which the sequence of conodonts was not previously known. The Upper Viséan conodont faunas of a coral-brachiopod carbonate facies are also compared and contrasted with those of a goniatite-bullion shale facies. In addition the Upper Viséan conodont zones initially recognized in the coral-brachiopod sequence of the south-west province by Rhodes, Austin and Druce1 are set alongside the standard goniatite sequence of the Upper Viséan.
