(Central Slovakia) ANDREJ BENDÍK Slovak National Museum in Martin – Andrej Kmeť Museum, A. Kmeťa 20, SK-036 01 Martin, Slovak Republic; [email protected] Abstract The abundant ammonite fauna from the collection of Slovak National Museum in Martin – the Andrej Kmeť Museum, from the Veľká Fatra Mts., especially of the Harpoceratinae subfamily is discussed. The stone core of ammonites comes from the Janovky and Adnet formations of Liassic sequence of the Krížna nappe. Due to the poor preservation, only limited number of individuals was distinguished: Fuciniceras compressum, Fuciniceras cornacaldense, Fuciniceras lavinianum, Fuciniceras sp., Harpoceras cf. elegans, Harpoceras sp. cf. eseri, Harpoceras falcifer, Harpoceras pseudoserpentinum, Harpoceras exaratum, Harpoceras cf. falcifer, Harpoceras sp., Micropolyplectus sp., Polyplectus discoides, Protogrammoceras incertum and Protogrammoceras normanianum. This ammonite fauna indicates the Late Pliensbachian – Late Toarcian time span. Key words: Harpoceratinae, ammonite fauna, Lower Jurassic, the Veľká Fatra Mts.

    Volumina Jurassica, 2013, Xi: 19–58 Lower Jurassic to lower Middle Jurassic succession at Kopy Sołtysie and Płaczliwa Skała in the eastern Tatra Mts (Western Carpathians) of Poland and Slovakia: stratigraphy, facies and ammonites Jolanta IWAŃCZUK1, Andrzej IWANOW1, Andrzej WIERZBOWSKI1 Key words: stratigraphy, Lower to Middle Jurassic, ammonites, microfacies, correlations, Tatra Mts, Western Carpathians. Abstract. The Lower Jurassic and the lower part of the Middle Jurassic deposits corresponding to the Sołtysia Marlstone Formation of the Lower Subtatric (Krížna) nappe in the Kopy Sołtysie mountain range of the High Tatra Mts and the Płaczliwa Skała (= Ždziarska Vidla) mountain of the Belianske Tatra Mts in the eastern part of the Tatra Mts in Poland and Slovakia are described. The work concentrates both on their lithological and facies development as well as their ammonite faunal content and their chronostratigraphy. These are basinal de- posits which show the dominant facies of the fleckenkalk-fleckenmergel type and reveal the succession of several palaeontological microfacies types from the spiculite microfacies (Sinemurian–Lower Pliensbachian, but locally also in the Bajocian), up to the radiolarian microfacies (Upper Pliensbachian and Toarcian, Bajocian–Bathonian), and locally the Bositra (filament) microfacies (Bajocian– Bathonian). In addition, there appear intercalations of detrital deposits – both bioclastic limestones and breccias – formed by downslope transport from elevated areas (junction of the Sinemurian and Pliensbachian, Upper Toarcian, and Bajocian). The uppermost Toarcian – lowermost Bajocian interval is represented by marly-shaly deposits with a marked admixture of siliciclastic material. The deposits are correlated with the coeval deposits of the Lower Subtatric nappe of the western part of the Tatra Mts (the Bobrowiec unit), as well as with the autochthonous-parachthonous Hightatric units, but also with those of the Czorsztyn and Niedzica successions of the Pieniny Klippen Belt, in Poland.

Andalib, G. Dietl and H. Gocht With 20 figures in the text Seilacher, A., Andalib, F., D ietl, G. 8c G ocht, H.: Preservational history of compressed Jurassic ammonites from Southern Germany. — N. Jb. Geol. Paliiont. Abh., 152, 307—356, Stuttgart 1976. Abstract: Preservational features express the varying time relationships between shell solution, compaction and cementation processes during early diagenesis. In many cases they correlate better with the depositional environments than with the present lithologies of the enclosing rocks. K ey words: Ammonitida, fossilization, diagenesis, deformation, Jurassic; SW-German mesozoic hills. Zusammenfassung: Erhaltungszustande definierter Gehausetypen spiegeln das zeit- liche Verhaltnis von Schalenlosung, Kompaktion und Zementation wahrend der Friih- diagenese. Da sie eher vom Ablagerungsmilieu als vom Stoflbestand des fertigen Gestcins abhangen, konnen sie als Fazies-Indikatoren eingesetzt werden. The beauty of fossils is one of the main attractions in paleontology; but at the same time it tends to distract from the wealth of geologic in­ formation that is encoded in the “poor” specimens. The present study tries to tap this reservoir by using ammonites so poorly preserved that they would have been rejected by most collectors.

  • Ammonoid Intraspecific Variability
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 Ammonoid Intraspecific Variability De Baets, Kenneth ; Bert, Didier ; Hoffmann, René ; Monnet, Claude ; Yacobucci, Margaret M;Klug, Christian Abstract: Because ammonoids have never been observed swimming, there is no alternative to seeking indirect indications of the locomotory abilities of ammonoids. This approach is based on actualistic com- parisons with the closest relatives of ammonoids, the Coleoidea and the Nautilida, and on the geometrical and physical properties of the shell. Anatomical comparison yields information on the locomotor muscu- lar systems and organs as well as possible modes of propulsion while the shape and physics of ammonoid shells provide information on buoyancy, shell orientation, drag, added mass, cost of transportation and thus on limits of acceleration and swimming speed. On these grounds, we conclude that ammonoid swim- ming is comparable to that of Recent nautilids and sepiids in terms of speed and energy consumption, although some ammonoids might have been slower swimmers than nautilids.

The three lowest subzones of the Upper Lias occur in the top 1 m of the Marlstone Rock Bed. This is overlain by the Transition Bed of Semicelatum Subzone age and the Abnormal Fish Bed of Exaratum Subzone age.

  • Lower and Middle Jurassic Ammonoids of the Shemshak Group in Alborz, Iran and Their Palaeobiogeographical and Biostratigraphical Importance
    Lower and Middle Jurassic ammonoids of the Shemshak Group in Alborz, Iran and their palaeobiogeographical and biostratigraphical importance KAZEM SEYED−EMAMI, FRANZ T. FÜRSICH, MARKUS WILMSEN, MAHMOUD R. MAJIDIFARD, and ALI SHEKARIFARD Seyed−Emami, K., Fürsich, F.T., Wilmsen, M., Majidifard, M.R., and Shekarifard, A. 2008. Lower and Middle Jurassic ammonoids of the Shemshak Group in Alborz, Iran and their palaeobiogeographical and biostratigraphical importance. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 53 (2): 237–260. The Shemshak Group at Shahmirzad (northern Iran) is characterized by the most frequent and extensive marine intercala− tions and contains the most abundant and diverse ammonite faunas hitherto known from the Lower and lower Middle Ju− rassic strata of the Alborz Range. So far, 62 ammonite taxa have been recorded from this area, including 25 taxa from ear− lier studies. The taxa belong to the families Cymbitidae, Echioceratidae, Amaltheidae, Dactylioceratidae, Hildoceratidae, Graphoceratidae, Hammatoceratidae, Erycitidae, and Stephanoceratidae with the new species Paradumortieria elmii and Pleydellia (P.?) ruttneri. The fauna represents the Late Sinemurian, Late Pliensbachian, Toarcian, Aalenian, and Early Bajocian. Palaeobiogeographically, it is closely related to the Northwest European (Subboreal) Province, and exhibits only minor relations with the Mediterranean (Tethyan) Province.
