Bull. Tokyo Gakugei Univ. Div. Nat. Sci., 64: 143-152 (2012) ISSN 1880-4330 Abstract Santonian ammonoid and inoceramid, from the Nakanokaya Formation and/or Atokura Formation in northern Kwanto Mountains, Japan, are described herein: Polyptychoceras (Polyptychoceras) cf. obstrictum and Inoceramus (Inoceramus) amakusensis. These fossils indicate that the age interpretation of the Nakanokaya Formation and/or Atokura Formation previously should be changed to Santonian of the international standard from Gyliakian of the Japanese standard (= Cenomanian to Turonian). This suggests that both the sedimentary basins of the Sanchu Cretaceous and the Atokura and its equivalent formations were provided deposits from nearly the same rocks in the provenance not in the same age, but in the different age.

  • 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.

Wien, Serie A 112 627-658 Wien, Juni 2010 Barremian rhyncholites (Lower Cretaceous Ammonoidea: calcified upper jaws) from the Serre de Bleyton (Département Drôme, SE France) By Wolfgang RIEGRAF1 & Gero MOOSLEITNER2 (With 2 figures, 2 plates and 1 table) Manuscript submitted on June 10th 2009, the revised manuscript on January 19th 2010 Abstract Seven calcified upper jaw tips of Rhynchoteuthis astieriana D’ORBIGNY and Palaeoteuthis infira (SHIMANSKY) from the Serre de Bleyton section (Dépt. Drôme, SE France) were redeposited from an outer shelf into an upper slope (upper bathyal) environment embedded in a highly fossiliferous Barremian bioclastic limestone. They represent a low diverse and poor preserved small Barremian pelagic rhyncholite fauna, also described from a few Tethyan and Alpine localities between Cuba, the Crimea, and the Caucasus. Rhynchoteuthis and Palaeoteuthis may most probably represent calcified tips of upper jaws of various taxa of Tethyan ammonites, e.g. of the Phylloceratina (Phyl- loceras, Sowerbyceras), Lytoceratina (Tetragonitidae), and/or some Ammonitina (Arnioceras, Eleganticeras, Hildoceras, Aconeceras). But due to their scarcity, poor preservation, and the allochthonous occurrence, the Serre de Bleyton rhynchoteuthids do not contribute further new knowledge to taxonomy, palaeoecology, stratigraphy or basinal history. Kurzfassung Sieben kalkige Oberkieferspitzen – Rhynchoteuthis astieriana D’ORBIGNY und Palaeoteuthis infira (SHIMANSKY) aus einem Profil der Serre de Bleyton (Dépt.

  • ORGANISMS in BODY CHAMBERS of FOSSIL CEPHALOPODS Fraaye, Rene H.B
    ©Geol. Bundesanstalt, Wien; download unter www.geologie.ac.at ORGANISMS IN BODY CHAMBERS OF FOSSIL CEPHALOPODS Fraaye, Rene H.B. Oertijdmuseum, Bosscheweg 80, NL-5283 WB Boxtel, The Netherlands In 1841 Mary Anning drew H. Strickland's attention to some black substances in the interior of Liassic ammonites from Lyme Regis, UK. She considered them to be inksacs of the ammonite animals. Strickland (1845) described Mary Anning's and some other specimens from the British Liassic and concluded them to be appendages and / or aptychi. Since then fossils occurring in cephalopod body chambers have received only scant attention. In 1997, Jäger & Fraaye listed all previous data on stomach contents of ammonites and described in detail the diet of the Toarcian ammonite Harpoceras falciferum from the Posidonienschiefer of southern Germany. New data on the diet of the contemporary ammonite genera Dactylioceras, Hildoceras, Phylloceras and Lytoceras are now under study; preliminary results will be presented. Westermann's (1996) model of Dactylioceras as a planktonic drifter seems applicable to juveniles but probably not to adults. Hildoceras fed on organisms or parts of organisms lacking hard tissues. Large Phylloceras and Lytoceras probably were the producers of the phosphatic coprolites full of fish remains. An ammonite inquilinistic mode of life has been reported for smaller ammonites (Matsumoto & Nihongi, 1979) and for decapods and fishes (Fraaye & Jäger, 1995a, b). Many newly collected specimens substantiate the view that the inquiline use of cephalopod shells by arthropods was a common and important co- evolutionary phenomenon in marine ecosystems from the Ordovician to at least the Eocene. The first in ammonite occurrence of a hermit crab from the Early Cretaceous of Speeton, England is presented.

A cyclic mode of shell growth and its implications in a Late Cretaceous heteromorph ammonite Polyptychoceras pseudogaultinum (yokoyama) TAKASHI OKAMOTO and MAKOTO SHIBATA Department of Earth Sciences, Ehime University, Bunkyo-cho 2-5, Matsuyama, 790 Japan.

Received 18 May, 1996: Revised manuscript accepted 20 December 1996 Abstract Polyptychoceras, a Cretaceous heteromorph ammonite genus, is characterized by a trom­ bone-like shell called a "hamitoid" shell. In order to clarify the shell-forming mechanism, a large sample, which consists of more than 320 specimens of P. pseudogaultinum (yokoyama) obtained from the Upper Santonian of Hokkaido, was biometrically analyzed. Besides the shell coiling, cyclic changes of growth pattern are recognized by the analyses of the shell ornamentation, the relative growth rate of shell height, and the distance between septa. Intermittent shell growth, which was also deduced from the ontogenetic stage distribution in the population samples, is probably the cause of such peculiar shell coiling. Also, we carried out some computer simulations to reconstruct hydrostatically the ontogenetic change of the living attitude of P. pseudogaultinum. It is suggested that the rate of absolute shell growth possibly depends on the living attitude of this ammonite in the water column; the shell grows slowly when the shell aperture faces upward, and grows rapidly when the aperture faces in other directions. It is likely that every individual of this ammonite spent most of its life time with an upward-facing aperture.
