The First Australasian Conodont Symposium, AUSCOS-I, was held at
Macquarie University, Sydney, in July 1995. Twentytwo papers from
that meeting were edited by us and published as Courier
Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg Vol 182. The meeting was mounted by the
Macquarie University Centre for Ecostratigraphy and Palaeobiology
(MUCEP). The Second Australasian Conodont Symposium, AUSCOS-II, held
in the city of Orange, New South Wales, in July 2000, formed part of a
larger convention, Palaeontology Down Under, again mounted by
MUCEP.
As the previous volume, this corpus of papers covers a
wide range of topics: from conodont palaeobiology, taxonomy, shape
analysis and sedimentary/tectonic applications, to biostratigraphic
alignments in many regions of the globe, principally Australia,
Pakistan, Malaysia, Italy, USA, Sweden, Russia and Iran.

This sizeable volume features the papers of the Second Australasian Conodont Symposium, held in Orange, NSW, in July of 2000 as part of the congress
Paleontology Down Under.
As was the case with the proceedings of the previous conference (1995), the 22
reviewed and edited contributions to this volume span the entire range of current topics of conodont
research from conodont paleobiology, taxonomy, shape analysis and sedimentological
and tectonic applications to problems of worldwide biostratigrapic correlation, principally Australia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Italy, the US, Sweden, Russia and Iran.
