Abstract

On the basis of the recent investigations of both tooth elements and whole paleontological imprints we show the originality of the proto­ and euconodont animals. The comparative characteristics are given for the ancient and today representatives of the protoconodont. The paper gives the newest descriptions of the morphological features of the euconodont animals. The comparative­morphological analysis of the proto­ and euconodont animals, belonging to different taxons of the type rank – Chaetognatha Leucart, 1854 and Euconodontophylea Kassatkina, Buryi, 1997, revealed many similar features present in them.
