Condorodon spanios is a genus of extinct mammal from the Middle Jurassic Cañadón Asfalto Formation of Argentina, South America.
Classification
One of the only two known South American eutriconodonts, Condorodon differs from the somewhat older Argentoconodon, a relative of Volaticotherium, in the morphology of the molariform teeth. It is closely related to the Late Jurassic amphilesthere Tendagurodon from the Tendaguru Formation of Tanzania, Africa.[1]
