  • First Three-Dimensionally Preserved in Situ Record of an Aptychophoran Ammonite Jaw Apparatus in the Jurassic and Discussion of the Function of Aptychi
    Berliner paläobiologische Abhandlungen 10 321-330 Berlin 2009-11-11 First three-dimensionally preserved in situ record of an aptychophoran ammonite jaw apparatus in the Jurassic and discussion of the function of aptychi Günter Schweigert Abstract: A unique specimen of the microconch ammonite Lingulaticeras planulatum Berckhemer in Ziegler, 1958 comes from a tempestite bed within the Upper Jurassic lithographic limestones of Scham- haupten in Franconia (Painten Formation, uppermost Kimmeridgian). The shell is unique because it retains the complete jaw apparatus in the body chamber. The articulation of the Lamellaptychus and the corresponding upper beak are well preserved. The function of the aptychus is discussed in general, and an operculum function is thought to be unlikely. The formation of strongly calcified aptychi in aspidoceratids and some oppeliid ammonoids is interpreted as an added ballast weight to stabilize the conch for swimming in the water column. Keywords: Ammonites, aptychus, preservation, functional morphology, Upper Jurassic, lithographic lime- stones, Franconia, Germany Zusammenfassung: Ein einzigartig erhaltenes Exemplar des mikroconchen Ammoniten Lingulaticeras planulatum Berckhemer in Ziegler, 1958 aus einer Tempestitlage des oberjurassischen Plattenkalks von Schamhaupten in Franken (Painten-Formation, oberstes Kimmeridgium) enthält noch den vollständigen Kieferapparat in seiner Wohnkammer.Es zeigt die perfekte Artikualation des Lamellaptychus mit dem dazu- gehörenden Oberkiefer. Die Funktion des Aptychus wird allgemein diskutiert und eine Deckelfunktion für unwahrscheinlich gehalten. Die Ausbildung stark verkalkter Aptychen wie in Aspidoceraten und manchen Oppeliiden wird als zusätzliches Tariergewicht gedeutet, um das Gehäuse in starker bewegtem Wasser zu stabilisieren. Schlüsselwörter: Ammoniten, Aptychus, Erhaltung, Plattenkalke, Funktionsmorphologie, Oberjura, Franken, Deutschland Address of the author: Dr. Günter Schweigert, Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde, Rosenstein 1, D-70191 Stuttgart.

  • New Data on the Jaw Apparatus of Fossil Cephalopods
    New dataon the jaw apparatus of fossil cephalopods YURI D. ZAKHAROV AND TAMAZ A. LOMINADZE \ Zakharov, Yuri D. & Lominadze, Tamaz A. 19830115: New data on the jaw apparatus of fossil LETHAIA cephalopods. Lethaia, Vol. 16, pp. 67-78. Oslo. ISSN 0024-1164. A newly discovered fossil cephalopod jaw apparatus that may belong to Permian representatives of the Endocochlia is described. Permorhynchus dentatus n. gen. n. sp. is established on the basis of this ~ apparatus. The asymmetry of jaws in the Ectocochlia may be connected with the double function of the ventral jaw apparatus, and the well-developed, relatively large frontal plate of the ventral jaw should be regarded as a feature common to all representatives of ectocochlian cephalopods evolved from early Palaeozoic stock. Distinct features seen in the jaw apparatus of Upper Pcrmian cndocochlians include the pronounced beak form of both jaws and the presence of oblong wings on the ventral mandible. o Cephalopoda. jaw. operculum. aptychus, anaptychus, Permorhynchus n.gen.• evolution.

It is compared with non-compressed faunas of the same age. With the exception of the lowermost part of the section the ammonite fauna of the Nusplingen Litho- graphie Limestone is attributed to the hoelderi horizon of the Ulmense Subzone (Beckeri Zone, Late Kimmeridgian). The basal parts of the Nusplingen Lithographie Limestone yield an ammonite faunula which represents the zio-wepferi horizon ß of the Ulmense Subzone. In other parts of the Swabian Alb both the zio-wepferi horizon ß and the sueeeeding hoelderi ho- rizon lie in the „Liegende Bankkalke" or in the „Zementmergel" Formations. Both ammonite faunas show a submediterranean character with only very few mediterranean and subboreal faunal elements.

  • Oxfordian Idoceratids (Ammonoidea) and Their Relation to Perisphinctes Proper
    ACT A PAL A EON T 0 L ,0 GI CAP 0 LON ICA Vol. 21 1976 No 4 WOJCIECH BROCHWICZ-LEWINSKI & ZDZISLAW ROZAK OXFORDIAN IDOCERATIDS (AMMONOIDEA) AND THEIR RELATION TO PERISPHINCTES PROPER Abstract. - An attempt is made to reconstruct the evolution of idoceratids (Pe­ risphinctidae) during the Oxfordian. The subgenus Nebrodites (Passendorjeria) is supposed to be the ancestor of N. (Mesosimoceras), whilst N. (Enayites) subgen. n. ­ of N. (Nebrodites) and possibly of Idoceras planula group. Both genera appear to be of European origin. Differentiation of Mediterranean and Submediterran.ean peris­ phinctidae appears questionable. INTRODUCTION In 1973 one of the co-authors (W. Brochwicz-Lewiilski, 1973) proposed a new subgenus Nebrodites (Passendorferia) for Middle Oxfordian forms interpreted as descendants of Mediterranean Kranaosphinctes cyrilli-me­ thodii group and ancestors of Nebrodites proper; the Idoceras planula group was assumed to be an off-shoot of the evolutionary line. Subsequent collecting gave several Passendorferia and Passendorferia-like forms from the Oxfordian of Poland, Switzerland (Gygi, pers. inf.), Spain (Sequeiros, 1974) and Bulgaria (Sapunov, in press). Moreover, ancestral forms of the Idoceras planula group were reported from the Bimammatum Zone of the F. R. G. (Nitzopoulos, 1974). These finds made it possible to draw some conclusions concerning the h~tory of these Mediterranean perisphinctids and their relationship to the Submediterranean ones. The material described comprises forms from authors' G. KU'lesza (Br, Kl) and Dr. J. Liszkowski's (L) collections housed at the Warsaw University as well as others from the Geological Museum of Sofia Univer­ sity (Bulgaria) and Geological Museum of the Polish Academy of Sciences at Cracow.

  • Composition and Origin of Jurassic Ammonite Concretions at Gerzen, Germany

A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science McMaster University (c) Copyright by Michael David Geraghty, April 1990 MASTER OF SCIENCE (1990) McMaster University (Geology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Composition and Origin of Jurassic Ammonite Concretions at Gerzen, Germany. AUTHOR: Michael David Geraghty, B. Sc. (University of Guelph) SUPERVISOR: Professor G.E.G. Westermann NUMBER OF PAGES: xiii, 154, 17 Figs., 10 Pls. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Gerd Westermann for allowing me the privilege of studying under his supervision on a most interesting research project. His advice, support and patience were greatly appreciated. I deeply indebted to Mr. Klaus Banike of Gottingen, F. R. Germany for opening his home and his collection of concretions to me and also for his help and friendship. To Erhardt Trute and Family of Gerzen, F.R. Germany, I owe many thanks for their warm hospitality and assistance with my field work. Also Dr. Hans Jahnke of Georg-August University, Gottingen deserves thanks for his assistance and guidance. Jack Whorwood's photographic expertise was invaluable and Len Zwicker did an excellent job of preparing my thin­ sections. Also, Kathie Wright did a great job helping me prepare my figures. Lastly, I would like to thank all those people, they know who they are, from whom I begged and borrowed time, equipment and advice. iii ABSTRACT Study of the ecology of concretion and host sediment fossils from a shell bed in middle Bajocian clays of northwestern Germany indicates a predominantly epifaunal suspension-feeding community living on a firm mud bottom.

A comparison of the 11 stu- died specimens with material of the Eastern Alps yielded no significant differences concerning form, sculpture, and suture line. The differences to Schlotheimia on the one hand and to the charmassei group on the other are shown. There are two main groups within the Schlotheimiidae (not regarded "Waehneroceras" s.L): The one is well known as genus Schlotheimia and the other is here comprised under the name Angulaticeras (including Sulciferites) to which. Ammonites marmoreus belongs. The stratigraphical occurrence of the species in Württemberg Supports the Hettangian age of the marmoreum Zone in the Mediterranean province.
