“…According to global biostratigraphic schemes, the studied biostratigraphic interval in Sierra de Lina can be correlated in a broad sense with the Pseudamplexograptus distichus Zone of Baltoscandia (J. Maletz & Ahlberg, 2020; J. Maletz et al, 2020), the P. distichus Subzone of the Didymograptus murchisoni Zone in the Bohemian‐Iberian region (Gutiérrez‐Marco et al, 2017) and the D. murchisoni Zone in Britain and China (Zalasiewicz et al, 2009; Zhang et al, 2019) (Figure 5). Graptolites of the D. murchisoni Zone were also documented in Saudi Arabia (Rickards & Khashogji, 2000) and Jordan (Meischner et al, 2019) suggesting a probable correlation with the material of the Argentine Puna here studied.…”

This contribution reports two graptolite assemblages from the Puna Turbidite Complex, outcropping in Sierra de Lina and Cauchari locality, western Puna, Jujuy and Salta provinces, Argentina. In Sierra de Lina, the graptolite assemblage comprises Didymograptus sp., Glossograptus fimbriatus, Cryptograptus schaeferi, Archiclimacograptus sp., Pseudamplexograptus distichus, Pseudamplexograptus latus, ?Urbanekograptus retioloides and Hustedograptus sp. The graptolite fauna collected from Cauchari locality includes Didymograptus spp., Archiclimacograptus caelatus, Archiclimacograptus sp. cf. A. micidus, scarce and incomplete specimens doubtfully referred to the genera Archiclimacograptus and Acrograptus and scarce siculae of Cryptograptus sp. The associations allow us to identify the Pseudamplexograptus distichus Zone in Sierra de Lina and possibly the Pterograptus elegans Zone at Cauchari locality. Graptolite assemblages recorded in both zones allow assigning a middle‐late Darriwilian (Middle Ordovician) age for the bearer levels.
