Oncodella
Oncodella is an extinct genus of Late Triassic (latest Norian to early Rhaetian) conodont. The genus was given the type species "Oncodella idiodentica" by Mosher (1968), on the basis of fossils from the Late Triassic of Austria. However, Mosher (1969) later revised the species name to Oncodella paucidentata, since identical fossils from the same area were previously given the name "Hindeodella paucidentata" by Mostler (1967).

Like many genera which occupied the last phases of conodont evolution, "Oncodella" was atavistic and relatively simple in form, possibly due to environmental stresses. The origin of the genus is poorly understood. The common type species, "Oncodella paucidentata", had a rod-like lower bar hosting a row of three to five denticles (tooth-like spines). The denticles were elongated, thin, and widely-spaced. They tilted backwards, especially towards the back of the platform. An extremely rare second species, "Oncodella mostleri", is only known from Hungary. It had three to four smaller denticles between the first and second large denticles, as well as a short rear bar without denticles.
