Abstract

The Panching limestone, from Pahang, West Malaysia, has yielded a rich conodont fauna which represents the Idiognathoides noduliferus-Streptognathodus lateralis conodont Zone. Two subzones are recognized for the Panching limestone, a lower Idiognathoides noduliferus inaequalis-Gnathodus commutatus Subzone and an upper Idiognathoides noduIiferus japonicus-Rhachistognathus Subzone. The age of the faunas in terms of European Stages is Chokierian (H,) and possibly Alportian (H). It is considered that the Mississippian-Pennsylvanian boundary may be correlated with a level in the Panching limestone.
