Ozarkodinida is an extinctconodont order.[1][2] It is part of the cladePrioniodontida, also known as the "complex conodonts".
Ozarkodinida is named after theOzark Mountains ofMissouri, United States.
The feeding apparatus of ozarkodinids is composed at the front of an axial Sa element, flanked by two groups of four close-set elongate Sb and Sc elements which were inclined obliquely inwards and forwards. Above these elements lay a pair of arched and inward pointing (makellate) M elements. Behind the S-M array lay transversely oriented and bilaterally opposed (pectiniform, i.e. comb-shaped) Pb and Pa elements.[3]
