Use in stratigraphy

The Tournaisian, the oldest age of the Mississippian (also known as Lower Carboniferous), contains eight conodont biozones, one of which is defined by a Polygnathus species:

• the zone of Gnathodus pseudosemiglaber and Scaliognathus anchoralis
• the zone of Gnathodus semiglaber and Polygnathus communis
• the zone of Dollymae bouckaerti
• the zone of Gnathodus typicus and Siphonodella isosticha
• the zone of Siphonodella quadruplicata and Patrognathus andersoni (upper zone of Patrognathus andersoni)
• the lower zone of Patrognathus andersoni
• the zone of Patrognathus variabilis
• the zone of Patrognathus crassus
