is C. spanios, described by Gaetano and Rougier in 2012.
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.[2]
