Systematics, biostratigraphy and biogeography of the ammonoid family Collignoniceratidae across the Turonian-Coniacian (Cretaceous) boundary in the West European and Indo-Malgach provinces Frederic Diebold Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Peter Bengtson This manuscript is produced only for the examination as a doctoral dissertation and is not intended as a permanent scientific record. It is therefore not a publication in the sense of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. 12 Contents Introduction, aim of research 15 Chapter 1.
