👉 A conodont is a type of marine organism that has eight segments, including an exopod (an outer shell), and two pairs of gills. It is characterized by its unique structure, which allows it to feed on microalgae, algae, and other small organisms in the ocean. Conodonts are found in the deep waters of the oceans and can be found in a variety of habitats such as seagrass beds, coral reefs, and even freshwater lakes.
