Collected: From road cut on Nolansville Pike in Nashville,
1.1 miles west of Nolansville Road, Lower Bigby Formation, just above the
laminated Hermitage Formation
Comments: Scale Bar is 0.4 mm. Darkfield illumination
of conodont under oil immersion. Aligned according to base
of denticles between two cusps at -25 degrees. Images use JVC digital
videocamera. This element is noted to be "curled" into a sinusoidal
shape -- the anterior cusp is twisted upward from the plane shown above,
as shown on top views M2 and M3, both rotated to slightly different points
-- reconstructed as stereo images in S4.
