Silurian conodonts from Severnaya Zemlya

A short description oflhe Silurian of Severnaya Zemlya consisting of the Vodopad, Golomyannyi, Srednii, Samoilovich, Ustspokoinaya and Krasnaya Bukhta Formations is given. The conodont fauna is diseussed. The Icriodella discreta - I. dejlecta and the Icriodella inconstans Assemblage Zones of Britain are recognizable in the lower part of the Silurian on Severnaya Zemlya. The age of the upper part of the Silurian sequence cannot be established by conodonts at the present time. The lack of the widespread species Pterospathodus celloni and P. amorphognathoides is noteworthy. Five new multielement combinations, Oulodus? sp. A, Oulodus? sp. B, Oulodus? sp. C, Ozarkodina? sp. A and Ozarkodina? sp. B are proposed.
