No M or Sa elements were recovered yet.</p><p>The new and diagnostic feature of this genus is that both P elements (Pa and Pb) have carminate morphology, representing until now the first genus to have this structural plan that appears in the Lower and early Middle Ordovician. These carminate P elements are strongly laterally compressed with well-defined cusp, the anterior and posterior processes are well developed and carry variable number of denticles. Their cusps have a well-marked keel with striae as ornamentation. The denticles are fused at the base and free apically, showing striae on the surface. The Pa element is longer than the Pb element and has a greater number of denticles. The basal cavity of moderate size is located immediately beneath the cusp with basal margin slightly expanded laterally.</p><p>The S transition series is represented by ramiform elements that include Sb1 modified tertiopedate, Sb2 tertiopedate, Sc dolabrate and Sd digyrate elements. All the elements present a long cusp with a well-marked rib and longitudinal striae. The processes have denticles in a variable number and size, with striae on their surfaces.</p><p>ETYMOLOGY. — The genus name “ Condorodus ” refers to the emblematic bird of the Los Andes Cordillera “cóndor” and “odus” (et. gr. tooth) “Cóndor tooth”.</p><p>SPECIES INCLUDED. — Condorodus chilcaensis n. gen., n. sp., Condorodus gracielae n. gen., n. sp., Condorodus diablensis n. gen., n. sp.</p><p>STRATIGRAPHIC AND GEOGRAPHICAL OCCURRENCE. — Lower and Middle Ordovician of the Eastern Cordillera, Famatinian Range and Precordillera. Upper Floian ( Trapezognathus diprion Zone) to Dapingian ( Baltoniodus triangularis Zone) in the Eastern Cordillera and Famatinian Range (Carlorosi et al. 2013, 2017). Lower to middle Darriwilian ( Lenodus crassus – L. suecicus zones) Central Precordillera of San Juan (Heredia &amp; Mestre 2011, 2013; Mestre 2012; Mestre &amp; Heredia 2013a, b, 2019a, b; Heredia et al. 2017). South America - Argentina.</p><p>REMARKS</p><p>The Condororus n. gen. apparatus was interpreted and reconstructed from the conodont association recovered from the LK9 sample (Suri Formation - Famatinian Range) which provided conodont elements only from three different genera and four species. Three of these species were previously studied in detail by Carlorosi et al. (2013, 2018) and Heredia et al. (2013) and are well-known, they are: Baltoniodus cooperi, Baltoniodus triangularis and Erraticodon patu . Consequently, the low diversity in this sample, allowed identified the elements that conform the apparatus of Condorodus n. gen. The carminate P elements were recognized easily due to their abundance and size, conversely, the S elements were difficult to recognize because they are small, fragmented, and scarce. The other morphologies recovered could not be attributed to M or Sa elements in the Suri Formation, or in any other area where this new genus was recorded. The Condorodus n. gen. apparatus reconstruction obtained from the Suri Formation, allowed comparison with similar conodont elements recovered from Ordovician strata of the Eastern Cordillera and Precordillera.</p><p>Condororus chilcaensis n. gen., n. sp. has been selected as type species of the genus, because its apparatus is better preserved and represented than those of C. diablensis n. gen., n. sp. and C. gracielae n. gen., n. sp. The P elements of each species present differences mainly in their denticular pattern as well as in their basal margins. The S elements recovered from the Precordillera (Darriwilian) are bigger than those recovered from the Suri, Santa Gertrudis and Alto del Cóndor formations (Dapingian). The C. chilcaensis n. gen., n. sp. S elements have robust denticles and cusps and the angle between processes are different in comparison to C. gracielae n. gen., n. sp. S elements.</p><p>The relation of P elements recovered from the samples is greater than the S elements. The ratio between P and S elements is displayed in Table 3.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/764387E0A35F597F606F9F083423F952	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

See Table 3.</p><p>DIAGNOSIS. — This species is characterized by a denticular pattern in its P elements where the first two or three denticles close to the cusp of the anterior process are lower than the rest. In addition, the basal cavity of both elements P is wide and extends to both processes.</p><p>ETYMOLOGY. — The denomination of this species is related to the provenance of these elements, Cerro La Chilca section, Central Precordillera of San Juan, Argentina.</p><p>TYPE LOCALITY. — San Juan and Los Azules formations, Cerro La Chilca section, Precordillera, Argentina (Fig. 4B).</p><p>TYPE HORIZON. — Sampled level CHL4 from the San Juan Formation, Cerro La Chilca section, Central Precordillera, 1.10 m from the top of the section. Collection A. Mestre PhD thesis (2010), Instituto de Investigaciones Mineras, housed in the INGEO, Universidad Nacional de San Juan (INGEO-MP) (A. Mestre collector).</p><p>DESCRIPTION</p><p>Pa element</p><p>Carminate, the cusp is erect with keeled margins and a costa on its inner side. The posterior process is longer and the aboral margin is higher than the anterior process. The posterior process is directed slightly downward distally and carries up to fifteen denticles; the first denticle is completely fused to the cusp, all denticles are subequal in size, slightly compressed and fused in the basal part, distal ones are smaller and seem to be rudimentary. The anterior process is straight and carries up to ten denticles, two or three denticles immediately anterior to the cusp are shorter than the others (Figs 5A; 8B, E, G, H; 9A). The basal cavity is deep and extends under both processes, becomes narrower distally. The Pa element shows a well-developed asymmetrical expansion of the basal cavity. On the inner side of the element the expansion of the basal cavity is directly below the cusp, while the outer side of the element exhibits an expansion towards the posterior process (Fig. 9A, C 1, C 2).</p><p>Pb element</p><p>This carminate element shows fewer denticles than the Pa element on both processes. The cusp is slightly reclined, having a well-developed costa in the inner side. The anterior and posterior processes are straight, developing a blade shape with the cusp in the middle part. On the anterior process, the first denticles are shorter than the rest, as in the Pa element, generally carries up to eight subtriangular and fused denticles; progressively increasing in size distally. On the posterior process the first denticle is fused to the cusp, and has up to seven denticles that decrease in size distally (Figs 5B; 8B, F; 9B). The basal cavity is deep and extends as grooves below the element, also develops small expansion to the inner side the element (Fig. 9B, D 1, D 2).</p><p>S elements</p><p>The recovered ramiform elements are all asymmetrical showing longitudinal striae and they present a well-marked rib on the posterior side of the cusp.</p><p>Sb1 element</p><p>Modified tertiopedate element with erect cusp and small basal cavity. On the outer posterior side of the cusp, there is a rib that extends beyond the base, developing a short adenticulate posterior process that ends in a keel (Figs 5C; 8A, D). Each lateral process presents a different denticulate pattern. The latero-anterior process exhibits free and spaced triangular denticles, the first one bigger than the rest, then decreasing in size towards the end of the process. The latero-posterior process has several quadrangular and fused denticles, the first denticle is bigger than the rest decreasing their sizes until the end in a short and gently rounded denticle. On the inner face of the cusp is a diagnostic well-marked longitudinal costa with striae (Figs 5; 8A, D).</p><p>Sb2 element</p><p>Tertiopedate element with erect cusp that shows square cross section and sharp margins, a strong rib on the posterior side of the cusp develops a short posterior process with a small and rudimentary denticle. The antero-lateral process is directed downward carrying five denticles, a small fragment of the posterior-lateral process is evident and seems to be similar but straight. First denticles on each process are fused to the cusp (Fig. 5D).</p><p>Sc element</p><p>Dolabrate element. The cusp is reclined, elongated and compressed laterally with sharp edges, the inner-lateral margin is weakly rounded, furrowed and striate. The posterior process is long with a wide base and carries up to eight denticles, the first one is fused to the cusp, all are rectangular, reclined and the distal are bigger. Complete element surface presents the diagnostic striae which are more visible on a wide costa in the middle part of the cusp (Fig. 5E).</p><p>Sd element</p><p>Digyrate element with erect cusp, and a short posterior adenticulate process.Two lateral asymmetrical processes, one is almost straight while the other curves downward strongly in a typical digyrate form, this latter one is the longer.The denticle pattern in each lateral process is different.The shorter lateral process shows subtriangular denticles; the other one presents more denticles which are triangular and spaced, the first denticle is fused to the cusp, the third is bigger than the others denticles. Despite the preservation of the elements, it is possible to observe the typical striae on the surface of the elements (Fig. 5F).</p><p>REMARKS</p><p>Lehnert (1995) and Mestre (2012) described P elements of Condorodus n. gen. as belonging to the genus Bryantodina Stauffer, 1935 . A close comparison to those elements described in this contribution allows to dismiss these elements as part of the genus Bryantodina . The main differences between these genera are the carminate element in Pb position and the development of striae ornamentation on the cusp and denticles in Condorodus n. gen.</p><p>Several authors have inferred the presence of Microzarkodina cf. ozarkodella, M. hagetiana and M. ozarkodella in some sections of Precordillera based on the record of Sa elements only (see list of synonyms). Through of an analysis of the conodont collections studied by Mestre (2012), Feltes et al. (2013), Serra et al. (2013, 2020) and Mango et al. (2018), was evident that this S element of Microzarkodina appears to be unfailingly associated with the carminate P elements assigned here to the Condorodus n. gen. apparatus. A comparison between the S elements of “ Microzarkodina ” and those assigned to Condorodus n. gen., confirm that these do not correspond to symmetric Sa elements of Microzarkodina, reassigning them to asymmetric elements included here as Sb1, Sb2 and Sd elements of the multielemental apparatus of Condorodus n. gen. (Figs 5C, E; 8A, D). Another consideration about the characteristics of these elements that support our interpretation is the presence of striae on the cusp and denticles that are absent in the genus Microzarkodina .</p><p>In the Cerro La Chilca section, Mestre (2012) described for the first time a possible apparatus of the Microzarkodina cf. ozarkodella associated with the elements of “ Bryantodina ” aff. typicalis . Those materials were re-exanimated for the present contribution, including all S elements as belonging to the apparatus of the Condorodus n. gen. Recently, Serra et al. (2020), for the same section, illustrated three different asymmetrical elements as Sa elements of M. hagetiana, but none of these correspond to an alate element, even more, one of this element possess tertiopedate morphology with development of three denticulate processes (Serra et al. 2020: fig. 5C), this element is interpreted here as Sb2 element of Condorodus chilcaensis n. gen., n. sp. and the others as Sb1 element (Serra et al. 2020: fig. 5A) and Sd element (Serra et al. 2020: fig. 5B).</p><p>Feltes et al. (2013), Serra et al. (2013, 2020) and Mango et al. (2018) lack the complete apparatus reconstruction of the Darriwilian species of Microzarkodina, only illustrated specimens interpreted as Sa elements . These authors proposed that the variation in the angle between the lateral processes of the Sa element could be used for differentiating between M. hagetiana and M. ozarkodella, basing their Darriwilian conodont biostratigraphic proposal on this weak taxonomic interpretation. Löfgren &amp; Tolmacheva (2008) recognized the P element as the major element used to distinguish between species of Microzarkodina and observed that the variation in the angle in Sa element can be considerable even within single species. Based on these observations, we consider that the record of the Darriwilian species of Microzarkodina is poorly supported in Precordillera since all specimens previously assigned to the different species of this genus are interpreted as belonging to the apparatus of Condorodus n. gen. in the present contribution.</p><p>Stratigraphic and geographical occurrence</p><p>San Juan and Las Aguaditas formations at Cerro La Chilca section and Las Chacritas river sections from the Central Precordillera.

SeeTable 3.</p><p>DIAGNOSIS. — Condorodus gracielae n. gen., n. sp. is characterized by P elements with processes having denticles subequal and erect, and with similar size to the cusp. Besides, they have an isolated denticle at the distal end of the anterior process, very evident when it is preserved. The basal cavity has an intermediate width compared to the other two species.</p><p>ETYMOLOGY. — In honor to Dr Graciela Sarmiento who described for the first time the conodont association from the Santa Gertrudis Formation.</p><p>TYPE LOCALITY. — Suri Formation, Chaschuil section, Famatinian Range, Argentina (Fig. 3).</p><p>TYPE HORIZON. — Sampled level LK9 from the Suri Formation, Chaschuil section, approximately 750 meters from the base of the section, see Figure 3. Collection Lillo-Microvertebrates/Conodonts (CML-C) (J. Carlorosi, collector).</p><p>DESCRIPTION</p><p>Pa element</p><p>Carminate, the processes comprise a narrow bar with numerous subtriangular denticles on it. The anterior process is longer than the posterior one and has eight to ten subtriangular denticles decreasing in height distally. The first denticle of the posterior process is completely fused to the cusp and carries from seven to nine denticles with the same pattern as the anterior process. The Pa elements from Famatina are shorter and more robust than those from Santa Gertrudis, and have the distalmost denticle of the anterior process bigger and isolated (Figs 6A; 8I, M, P, R; 9E). The Pa element developed an asymmetrical expansion of the basal cavity. On the inner side of the element the expansion of the basal cavity is directly below the cusp, while on the outer side the expansion is slightly towards the posterior process (Fig. 9E, G 1, G 2).</p><p>Pb element</p><p>This carminate element is shorter and more robust than the Pa element and their processes carry fewer denticles. The posterior process carries five to seven denticles while the anterior process has four to seven denticles that are tilted in the opposite direction than those on the Pa. The processes bar is well developed mainly in the Famatinian specimens. The cusp is triangular in cross section with a strong keel and straight anterior and posterior processes. The denticles decrease in size towards the distal end of the processes and an independent denticle is at the end of the anterior process (Figs 6B; 8K, N, Q; 9F). The basal cavity is deep and extends as grooves from the cusp to the processes, the basal margins are laterally slightly expanded. The basal cavity in the Pb element is less developed than in the Pa element (Fig. 9F, H 1, H 2).</p><p>S elements</p><p>The recovered elements are smaller and delicate compared with the S elements of C. chilcaensis n. gen., n. sp. from the Precordillera.</p><p>Sb1 element</p><p>Modified tertiopedate. The cusp is elongate with subtriangular cross section with sharp lateral margins. The inner face of the cusp has a well-marked rib that develops a short posterior process that ends in a keel. One of the lateral process is developed inward and downward and has two denticles, one is big and the other is almost triangular. The other process is fragmented (Fig. 6C).</p><p>Sb2 element</p><p>Tertiopedate. The preservation of the Sb2 element is not good, but it is possible to observe a sub-rounded and long cusp with two thin and asymmetric lateral processes. A well-marked rib in the inner face of the cusp develops a posterior process. On the latero-posterior process a denticle of rounded cross section is evident (Fig. 6D).</p><p>Sc element</p><p>Dolabrate. It has a laterally compressed cusp with sharp anterior and posterior lateral margins; the anterior margin extends in a wide sub-rounded keel and the posterior one extends in a long posterior process that carry seven to nine denticles. The first denticle is triangular, not fused to the cusp; the denticles are reclined and ending with a small rudimentary denticle. The bar of the posterior process is shorter than those from the Precordillera and moderately arched (Fig. 6E; 8L, O).</p><p>Sd element</p><p>Digyrate. This element shows an erect cusp. The inner face of the cusp carries a sharp rib that extends in an adenticulate short process. Two lateral processes develop asymmetrically from the cusp. One of the lateral process is straight and carries two denticles; one is big and quadrangular and the other is small and subtriangular. The other lateral process curves downward and has two sub-rounded denticles. On the element it is possible to observe the striae on the surface (Figs 6F; 8J 1-J 2).</p><p>REMARKS</p><p>All elements of the C. gracielae n. gen., n. sp. apparatus were recognized, only few morphologic variations compared to the P elements of the C. diablensis n. gen., n. sp. and C. chilcaensis n. gen., n. sp. are observed, such as the denticle patterns on the processes and the basal cavity of the P elements. However, the S elements of C. gracielae n. gen., n. sp. show strong differences from those from the Precordillera, the size and width of the processes are smaller and narrower in C. gracielae n. gen., n. sp. than C. chilcaensis n. gen., n. sp., also the cusps are thinner and have sharp lateral margins in C. gracielae n. gen., n. sp.</p><p>Condorodus gracielae n. gen., n. sp. was recovered from clastic deposits from the Suri Formation, that outcrops in the Famatinian Range, and from the Santa Gertrudis Formation that crops out in the Mojotoro Range in the Eastern Cordillera. All the elements are similar, and these common features allow us to consider them as a single species. Furthermore, previous studies on the conodont associations recovered from these formations suggest that there is a strong link between them; sharing almost the same conodont species and recording the Baltoniodus cooperi subzone which is present only in these two places (Carlorosi et al. 2018). Nevertheless, we have recognized affinity between the P elements of Santa Gertrudis to those of the Alto del Cóndor Formation in the Eastern Cordillera ( C. diablensis n. gen., n. sp.), on the other hand the P elements of the Suri Formation are similar to those of the Precordillera ( C. chilcaensis n. gen., n. sp.).</p><p>The only conodont report from the Suri Formation was made by Albanesi &amp; Vaccari (1994), recording the Baltoniodus navis Conodont Zone; in this conodont assemblage the authors illustrated a broken P element assigned to Jumudontus gananda Cooper, 1981 (Cooper 1981: 136, pl. 2, figs 13, 14), a detailed analysis of this specimen allows us to assign it here to C. gracielae n. gen., n. sp.</p><p>Upper Darriwilian conodonts were mentioned by Moya et al. (2003) in the Santa Gertrudis Formation, including a Pa of Bryantodina typicalis and Sa elements of Plectodina sp. A (Moya et al. 2003: 64; pl. 12; figs 1, 2) which are comparable to the Pa and Sb1 elements of Condorodus gracielae n. gen., n. sp. The Santa Gertrudis Formation was recently studied and reassigned as lower Dapingian after the record of the B. triangularis Zone (Carlorosi et al. 2018) .</p><p>Albanesi et al. (2007) recovered a conodont association from the Capillas Formation that crops out at the Sierra Subandinas and was assigned a late Darriwilian age. These authors assigned two carminate Pa elements to Bryantodina cf. typicalis (Albanesi et al. 2007: text, fig. 3J, R). We have compared them with the Condorodus n. gen. P elements, and these can be reassigned to a Pa element and a Pb element of C. gracielae n. gen., n. sp. (Albanesi et al. 2007: text, fig. 3J; specimen- as Pa element and R specimen- as Pb element). The conodont fauna described by Albanesi et al. (2007) has a similar composition to that of Santa Gertrudis Formation and records probably the Baltoniodus triangularis Zone.</p><p>Stratigraphic and geographical occurrence</p><p>Santa Gertrudis Formation, Mojotoro Range, Salta province and Suri Formation, Famatinian Range, Catamarca province, Argentina.

Pa element, ED1 sample, CML-C 5004 (1) (Fig. 7A).</p><p>Paratype. Pb element, MS4 sample, CML-C 5092(2) (Fig. 7B).</p><p>MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 35 specimens were recovered from the Acoite Formation, Espinazo del Diablo, from the Trapezognathus diprion Zone and Alto del Condor Formation, Los Colorados, from the Baltoniodus triangularis Zone. See Table 3.</p><p>DIAGNOSIS. — The P carminate elements are small compared to those of C. chilcaensis n. gen., n. sp. and C. gracielae n. gen., n. sp. The Pa elements are characterized by having a well-developed cusp and low subtriangular denticles on the processes, the first denticle of the posterior process is almost the same length as the cusp and is partially fused to it. The Pb elements are robust and the cusps are more difficult to differentiate from the rest of the denticles which are decreasing in size distally. The basal cavity is narrow and closes towards the ends of the processes in both elements.</p><p>ETYMOLOGY. — The diablensis designation refers to the Espinazo del Diablo locality.</p><p>TYPE LOCALITY. — Acoite Formation, Espinazo del Diablo section, Eastern Cordillera, Argentina (Fig. 3B).</p><p>TYPE HORIZON. — Sampled level ED1 from the Acoite Formation, Espinazo del Diablo section, from approximately 8 meters above the base of the section. Collection Lillo Microvertebrates/Conodonts (CML-C) (J. Carlorosi, collector).</p><p>STRATIGRAPHIC AND GEOGRAPHICAL OCCURRENCE. — ED1 sample, Espinazo del Diablo section and MS4 sample, Los Colorados region, Jujuy province. Upper Floian – Lower Dapingian (Lower/ Middle Ordovician), from the Trapezognathus diprion to Baltoniodus triangularis zones.</p><p>DESCRIPTION</p><p>Pa element</p><p>The cusp is triangular with sharp margins and has an arrow shape. The anterior process is straight and longer than the posterior. Both processes carry up to seven subtriangular and equal sized denticles. The first denticle of the posterior process is tall and fused to the cusp in the base and free apically (Figs 7A, C; 9I). The basal cavity is below the cusp and extends under both processes like grooves (Fig. 9I, K 1, K 2).</p><p>Pb element</p><p>Element with a small cusp, similar in size and height to the denticles, only differentiated by the presence of the basal cavity below it. Both processes carry up to four or six subrounded denticles (Figs 7B; 8S; 9J). The Pb element is shorter, and the bar of the processes is wider than in the Pa element. The first denticle of the posterior process is completely fused to the cusp. The basal cavity extends below both processes and the basal sheath presents a similar morphology to that of the Pa element (Fig. 9J, L 1, L 2).</p><p>REMARKS</p><p>The morphological characters described of C. diablensis n. gen., n. sp. are based mainly on the conodont collection from the Alto del Cóndor Formation (Los Colorados region), recovered from lower Dapingian strata, Baltoniodus triangularis Zone (Carlorosi et al. 2013) . However, the oldest element was retrieved from the ED1 sample of the Acoite Formation, cropping out in the Espinazo del Diablo section, late Floian in age by the record of the Trapezognathus diprion Zone (Carlorosi 2011, 2012).</p><p>The subequal length of the anterior and posterior processes in the carminate P elements; almost the same number of denticles in the Pa and Pb elements (acquiring a shape similar to a fan) where some of these are blunt and others pointed; and the undulations on both sides of the basal cavity of triangular in shape, unlike the other species where they are rounded and widened, are the main characteristics of C. diablensis n. gen., n. sp. that allow us to distinguish it from the other species of the Condorodus n. gen.</p><p>In the retrieved material we have not recovered S or M elements assignable to this species. Moreover, the P elements recovered are small, and S and M elements probably could be even smaller, and they could have been lost in the laboratory process.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/764387E0A355597862F19D29311DF813	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
