The C ellon section, located in the C arnic A lps, is a reference section for the S ilurian of the world. The conodont association of the section is revised according to the most recent taxonomy and the biostratigraphy updated in the basis of the recently published zonation schemes. Seventy taxa (species and sub‐species) belonging to 23 genera have been identified, allowing the discrimination of 15 biozones from the upper L landovery to the end of the Přídolí . However, some of the uppermost L landovery and W enlock biozones, corresponding to black shale intervals, have not been documented.
