An Early Ordovician green alga, Receptaculites camacho n. sp., from the San Juan Formation in Talacasto Gorge, San Juan Province, Argentina is a probable ancestor of Receptaculites oweni of the Galena-Kimmswick (Caradocian?) of North America. Analogy with recent calcareous green algae suggests that R. camacho inhabited warm, shallow, marine water. A paleomagnetic reconstruction of mid-Ordovician continental configurations places the North and South American localities of R. oweni and R. camacho in tropical latitudes. The major global oceanic currents for Middle Ordovician are inferred.
