Palaeos Mesozoic : Triassic : Olenekian (950 words)
The Olenekian Age is named for the Олениок River in Siberia, where the type section occurs, and which we have probably spelled incorrectly.
The beginning of the Olenekian (Induan - Olenekian boundary) is marked by the first appearance of the conodont Neospathodus waageni.
Another indicator is a magnetostratigraphic shift from reversing polarity in the Late Olenekian to a long normal zone in the Early Anisian.
