Heteromorph ammonites from the Upper Campanian (Upper Cretaceous) Baculites cuneatus and Baculites reesidei zones of the Pierre Shale in Colorado, USA. Acta Geologica Polonica, 50 (1), 1-20. Warszawa. Calcareous sandstone concretions in the Upper Cretaceous Pierre Shale in Middle Park and in the Fort Collins area of Colorado in the U.S. Western Interior contain heteromorph ammonites of the families Nostoceratidae HYATT, 1894, and Diplomoceratidae SPATH, 1926. The following species are described: Nostoceras cf. N. approximans (CONRAD, 1855), Nostoceras cf. N. obtusum HOWARTH, 1965, N. larimerense sp. nov., Nostoceras cf. N. splendidum (SHUMARD, 1861), Didymoceras aurarium sp. nov., D. draconis (STEPHENSON, 1941), Cirroceras conradi (MORTON, 1841), Anaklinoceras minutum sp.nov., Solenoceras texanum (SHUMARD, 1861), Solenoceras cf. S. reesidei STEPHENSON, 1941, Lewyites oronensis (LEWY, 1969), and Lewyites? sp. All these species are migrants from the Gulf coastal region. Didymoceras draconis and Cirroceras conradi are also known from the Delaware-New Jersey area, and these two species, together with Solenoceras texanum are known from as far away as Israel. Key words: Ammonites, Cretaceous, Campanian, U.S.A. INTRODUCTION found in relatively shallow-water sandy sediments mostly in two areas in Colorado, Middle Park in Heteromorph ammonites, other than baculites north-central Colorado (Text-fig. 1) and the Fort and scaphites, are scarce in rocks of latest Collins area farther east in north-central Colorado Campanian age in the US Western Interior and are (Text-fig. 2). In both areas, the heteromorph species restricted to sediments deposited in certain shallow- are either migrants from the Gulf coastal region, or water, sandy environments. Other heteromorph have evolved from such migrant taxa.

AMMONITES FROM THE BACULITES CUNEATUS AND BACULITES REESIDEI ZONES OF COLORADO, USA 3 Fort Collins area The entire Pierre Shale (2,070 m) is present in the Fort Collins area, where eight named members and eight unnamed members are recognized (SCOTT & COBBAN 1986). Three closely spaced sandstone members in the middle of the Pierre Shale are, from oldest to youngest: Rocky Ridge, Larimer, and Richard. The Rocky Ridge and Larimer Sandstone Members lie in the zone of Baculites reesidei, and the Richard Sandstone Member lies in the zone of B. jenseni of latest Campanian age. A 131-m-thick unnamed shale member that underlies the Rocky Ridge Sandstone Member contains B. cuneatus and Jeletzkytes nodosus just below the middle, but other heteromorph ammonites have not been found. The Rocky Ridge Sandstone Member contains a large molluscan fauna, but J. nodosus and Baculites cf. B. reesidei are the only known heteromorphs. The Larimer Sandstone Member contains a still larger molluscan fauna (listed in SCOTT & COBBAN 1986) that includes B. reesidei, J. nodosus, Rhaeboceras subglobosum (WHITEAVES, 1885) (p. 52, Pl. 7, Fig. 3; Pl. 8, Fig. 1, 1a (not 2, 2a) (COBBAN, 1987, p. 11), and several heteromorphs of Gulf coast affinities. The latter include the following species: Nostoceras cf. N. approximans (CONRAD, 1855), Nostoceras cf. N. obtusum HOWARTH, 1965, N. larimerense sp. nov., Nostoceras cf. N. splendidum (SHUMARD, 1861), Didymoceras aurarium sp. nov., Cirroceras conradi (MORTON, 1841), Anaklinoceras minutum sp. nov., Solenoceras texanum (SHUMARD, 1861), Solenoceras cf. S. reesidei STEPHENSON, 1941, Lewyites oronensis (LEWY, 1969), and Lewyites? sp.

  • The Upper Campanian – Lower Maastrichtian Cephalopod Fauna of Botellos, Nuevo León: a Key to Understand Faunal Turnover Acros

The Upper Campanian – lower Maastrichtian cephalopod fauna of Botellos, Nuevo León: a key to understand faunal turnover across the Campanian–Maastrichtian boundary in NE Mexico. Acta Geologica Polonica, 67 (1), 145–162. Warszawa. A new cephalopod collection from the Campanian-Maastrichtian boundary interval of NE Mexico, consisting of 1076 individuals assigned to 29 species and 22 genera is presented. This collection is a mix of ammonoids, one coleoid and one nautilid, which originate from at least three ammonoid biozones: The upper Campan- ian Exiteloceras jenneyi and Nostoceras (Nostoceras) hyatti zones, and the lower Maastrichtian Pachydiscus (Pachydiscus) neubergicus Zone. The age of the collection is thus middle late Campanian to late early Maas- trichtian, and it closes a stratigraphic gap between faunas described formerly from this region. The specimens are nuclei collected from the desert pavement. The abundance of specimens allows for a comparison to other Campanian–Maastrichtian ammonoid records from Mexico, North America and Europe.

  • ARTICLES Definition of Late Cretaceous Stage Boundaries In
    ARTICLES De®nition of Late Cretaceous Stage Boundaries in Antarctica Using Strontium Isotope Stratigraphy J. M. McArthur, J. A. Crame,1 and M. F. Thirlwall2 Department of Geological Sciences, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, United Kingdom (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT New 87Sr/86Sr analyses of macrofossils from 13 key marker horizons on James Ross and Vega Islands, Antarctica, allow the integration of the Antarctic Late Cretaceous succession into the standard biostratigraphic zonation schemes of the Northern Hemisphere. The 87Sr/86Sr data enable Late Cretaceous stage boundaries to be physically located with accuracy for the ®rst time in a composite Southern Hemisphere reference section and so make the area one of global importance for documenting Late Cretaceous biotic evolution, particularly radiation and extinction events. The 87Sr/86Sr values allow the stage boundaries of the Turonian/Coniacian, Coniacian/Santonian, Santonian/Campanian, and Campanian/Maastrichtian, as well as other levels, to be correlated with both the United Kingdom and United States. These correlations show that current stratigraphic ages in Antarctica are too young by as much as a stage. Immediate implications of our new ages include the fact that Inoceramus madagascariensis, a useful fossil for regional austral correlation, is shown to be Turonian (probably Late Turonian) in age; the ªMytiloidesº africanus species complex is exclusively Late Coniacian in age; both Baculites bailyi and Inoceramus cf. expansus have a Late Con- iacian/Early Santonian age range; an important heteromorph ammonite assemblage comprising species of Eubostry- choceras, Pseudoxybeloceras, Ainoceras, and Ryugasella is con®rmed as ranging from latest Coniacian to very earliest Campanian.

  • Ammonite Faunal Dynamics Across Bio−Events During the Mid− and Late Cretaceous Along the Russian Pacific Coast
    Ammonite faunal dynamics across bio−events during the mid− and Late Cretaceous along the Russian Pacific coast ELENA A. JAGT−YAZYKOVA Jagt−Yazykova, E.A. 2012. Ammonite faunal dynamics across bio−events during the mid− and Late Cretaceous along the Russian Pacific coast. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 57 (4): 737–748. The present paper focuses on the evolutionary dynamics of ammonites from sections along the Russian Pacific coast dur− ing the mid− and Late Cretaceous. Changes in ammonite diversity (i.e., disappearance [extinction or emigration], appear− ance [origination or immigration], and total number of species present) constitute the basis for the identification of the main bio−events. The regional diversity curve reflects all global mass extinctions, faunal turnovers, and radiations. In the case of the Pacific coastal regions, such bio−events (which are comparatively easily recognised and have been described in detail), rather than first or last appearance datums of index species, should be used for global correlation. This is because of the high degree of endemism and provinciality of Cretaceous macrofaunas from the Pacific region in general and of ammonites in particular.

PhD. Environmental Sciences PhD Program, Wright State University, 2020. The hydrostatics and hydrodynamics of prominent heteromorph ammonoid morphotypes and the functional morphology of ammonitic septa. Ammonoid cephalopods have chambered shells that regulated buoyancy. The morphology of their shells strongly influenced the physical properties acting on these animals during life. Heteromorph ammonoids, which undergo changes in coiling throughout ontogeny, are the focus of this dissertation. The biomechanics of these cephalopods are investigated in a framework involving functional morphology, paleoecology, and possible modes of life. Constructional constraints were investigated for the marginally-corrugated septal walls within the chambered ammonoid shell. These constraints governed the positive relationship between septal complexity and terminal size. Furthermore, increased septal complexity facilitated liquid retention via surface tension.
