Lochkovian (Lower Devonian) conodonts from the Rio Malinfier section (Carnic Alps, Italy)

Conodont data from the Rio Malinfier section, located in the Cason di Lanza area (Carnic Alps, Italy) are presented. Twelve taxa belonging to eight genera (Ancyrodelloides, Dvorakia, Icriodus, Lanea, Oulodus, Ozarkodina, Pseudooneotodus and Zieglerodina) allow to state a middle Lochkovian (Lower Devonian) age for the section. The lithological boundary between the Nölbling and the La Valute formations is dated to the transitans Zone.
