A limestone sample from near the top of the Silurian carbonate sequence in Peary Land, eastern North Greenland has yielded a diverse conodont fauna referable to the celloni Zone. By comparison with faunas from Britain, a Telychian age is indicated. One new species, Ozarkodina broenlundi, is recognised and a new multi-element reconstruction of Oulodus? fluegeli (Walliser) is suggested.
