Context. On the order of 20% of the very metal-poor stars in the Galaxy exhibit large carbon enhancements. It is important to establish which astrophysical sites and processes are responsible for the elemental abundance patterns of this early Galactic population. Aims. We seek to understand the nature of the progenitors of three main-sequence turnoff Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) stars; CS; 31080-095; 22958-042; and CS 29528-041; based on a detailed abundance analysis. Methods. From high-resolution VLT/UVES spectra (R ∼ 43 000); we determine abundances or upper limits for Li; C; N; O; and other important elements; as well as 12C/13C isotopic ratios. Results. All three stars have -3.30 &le [Fe/H] &le -2.85 and moderate to high CNO abundances. CS 22958-042 is one of the most carbon-rich CEMP stars known ([C/Fe] = +3.2); while CS 29528-041 (one of the few N-enhanced metal-poor stars known) is one of the most nitrogen rich ([N/Fe] = +3.0). Oxygen is very high in CS 31080-095 ([O/Fe] = +2.35) and in CS 22958-042 ([O/Fe] = +1.35). All three stars exhibit [Sr/Fe] 12C/13C = 9; similar to most other CEMP stars without enhanced neutron-capture elements; while 12C/13C ≥ 40 in CS 31080-095. CS 31080-095 and CS 29528-041 have A(Li) ∼ 1.7; below the Spite Plateau; while Li is not detected in CS 22958-042. Conclusions. CS 22958-042 is a CEMP-no star; but the other two stars are in no known class of CEMP star and thus either constitute a new class or are a link between the CEMP-no and CEMP-s classes; adding complexity to the abundance patterns for CEMP stars. We interpret the abundance patterns in our stars to imply that current models for the presumed AGB binary progenitors lack an extra-mixing process; similar to those apparently operating in RGB stars. © ESO 2006;
