Danielsen and Over—Lower Silurian conodonts, Shine Jinst region, Mongolia
extends the length of the element. These specimens are placed within Ozarkodina based on the shape of the cusp, growth of denticles surrounding the cusp, and the excavated basal cavity. Specimens are fragmented and, due to the lack of full denticles and posteriormost and anteriormost processes, a specific apparatus position is left open, comparable to both P2 and S.
