Mockina is an extinct genus of Late Triassic (mid Norian-early Rhaetian) conodonts. Several species of Mockina are used as index fossils for the Alaunian (middle Norian) and Sevatian (late Norian) substages of the Triassic.[1] One species, Mockina bidentata, is considered to be ancestral to Misikella and Parvigondolella, some of the last known genera of conodonts.[2] Mockina has occasionally been synonymized with Epigondolella based on the assumption that it represents Epigondolella specimens which live in resource-poor environments. Mockina/Epigondolella multidentata has occasionally been considered to belong to its own genus, Orchardella.
