Mockina

Extinct genus of jawless fishes

Mockina is an extinct genus of Late Triassic conodonts. Several species of Mockina are used as index fossils for the Alaunian and Sevatian substages of the Triassic. One species, Mockina bidentata, is considered to be ancestral to Misikella and Parvigondolella, some of the last known genera of conodonts. Mockina has occasionally been synonymized with Epigondolella based on the assumption that it represents Epigondolella specimens which live in resource-poor environments. Mockina/Epigondolella multidentata has occasionally been considered to belong to its own genus, Orchardella.
