牙形石摄食机制的争论结果对早期脊椎动物关系的假说和脊椎动物硬组织的进化具有重要意义。关于喂养和元素功能缺乏共识源于缺乏对功能假设的彻底测试。牙形石骨骼发育的分析结果表明，牙形石不是悬浮饲料和支持牙齿功能的假设。
The outcome of the debate over conodont feeding mechanisms has important implications for hypotheses of early vertebrate relations and the evolution of vertebrate hard tissues. The lack of consensus regarding feeding and element function stems from the lack of thorough testing of functional hypotheses. The results of analysis of conodont skeletal ontogeny demonstrate that conodonts were not suspension feeders and support hypotheses of a toothlike function.
