FIRST RECORD OF ASHGILLIAN CONODONTS IN THE ARGENTINE PRECORDILLERA

Authors

  • Susana Heredia

Abstract

A reworked conodont fauna from the Empozada Formation (Mendoza Precordillera) which belongs to the Caradoc-Ashgill (British Series from the Upper Ordovician) interval is reviewed. For the first time Amorphognathus cf. ordovicicus Branson & Mehl, 1933 is identified in Argentina. This species together with A. superbus, define the late Caradoc-earliest Ashgill of the Precordillera. The recovered conodont fauna is similar in composition with those of the British Province of the North Atlantic Realm, suggesting close relationships between both areas.
