  • Stratigraphic Implications of a New Lower Cretaceous Ammonoid Fauna from the Puez Area (Valanginian – Aptian, Dolomites, Southern Alps, Italy)
    Geo.Alp, Vol. 3, S. 55–83, 2006 STRATIGRAPHIC IMPLICATIONS OF A NEW LOWER CRETACEOUS AMMONOID FAUNA FROM THE PUEZ AREA (VALANGINIAN – APTIAN, DOLOMITES, SOUTHERN ALPS, ITALY) Alexander Lukeneder1 & Christian Aspmair2 With 6 figures and 8 plates 1 Natural History Museum, Geological-Palaeontological Department, Burgring 7, A-1010 Wien, Austria, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Prissian 102, I – 39010 Tisens (BZ), Italy Abstract Lower Cretaceous ammonoids (n = 424) were collected at the Puez locality in the Dolomites of Southern Tyrol. The cephalopod fauna from the marly limestones to marls here indicates Late Valanginian to Early Aptian age. The deposition of the marly limestones and marls of this interval occurred during depositional- ly unstable conditions. The underlying Biancone Formation (Maiolica Formation) is of Early Valanginian, whereas the lowermost Rosso Ammonitico is of Jurassic to Berriasian age. The ammonoid fauna consists of 27 different genera, each represented by 1-2 species. The assemblage at the Puez section is dominated by the Phylloceratina (30%) and the Ammonitina (34%). Phyllopachyceras (17%) and Phylloceras (13%) (both Phylloceratina) are the most frequent components, followed by Lytoceras (12%) (Lytoceratina), and Barremites (10%) and Melchiorites (8%) (both Ammonitina). The cephalopod fauna is purely of Mediterranean origin. Zusammenfassung Unterkreide Ammonoideen (424 Exemplare) der Puez Lokalität in den Dolomiten Süd-Tirols wurden unter- sucht. Die Fauna der mergeligen Kalke und Mergel von Puez zeigen ein Alter von Ober-Valanginium bis Unter-Aptium an. Die mergeligen Kalke und Mergel dieses Abschnitts lagerten sich unter instabiler Bedingungen ab. Die unterlagernde Biancone Formation (Maiolica Formation) zeigt Unter-Valanginium an, wogegen die tiefste Formation des Rosso Ammonitico auf Ober-Jura bis Berriasium hindeutet.

THE SUBFAMILY HELICANCYLINAE HYATT, 1894 By MARIA BEATRIZ AGUIRRE URRETA Department of Invertebrate Palaeontology, South African Museum, Cape Town* (With 19 figures) [MS accepted I October 1984] ABSTRACT Representatives of the subfamily Helicancylinae are locally common in deposits of Aptian age in the northern central Austral Basin, Patagonia. A strati graphical synthesis of the Lower Cretaceous deposits in the area studied is outlined. Schematic sequences of the measured sections at the principal localities, which also exhibit the various levels containing ammonites, are shown. The section on systematic palaeontology comprises a discussion of the subfamily Helicancylinae, and generic and specific descriptions of all taxa represented in the Austral Basin. In addition to the study of the Patagonian material, bibliographical research reveals the necessity of redefining the genera Helicancylus and Hamiticeras in order to clarify the systematics of the subfamily. The following species are identified: Helicancylus patagonicus, Helicancylus bonarellii, Toxo­ ceratoides nagerai, Toxoceratoides cf. biplex, Toxoceratoides? haughtoni, Toxoceratoides? sp., and Tonohamites aequicingulatus. The fauna shows some affinities with that of Zululand and western Europe.

  • The Barremian Heteromorph Ammonite Dissimilites from Northern Italy: Taxonomy and Evolutionary Implications
    The Barremian heteromorph ammonite Dissimilites from northern Italy: Taxonomy and evolutionary implications ALEXANDER LUKENEDER and SUSANNE LUKENEDER Lukeneder, A. and Lukeneder, S. 2014. The Barremian heteromorph ammonite Dissimilites from northern Italy: Taxon- omy and evolutionary implications. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 59 (3): 663–680. A new acrioceratid ammonite, Dissimilites intermedius sp. nov., from the Barremian (Lower Cretaceous) of the Puez area (Dolomites, northern Italy) is described. Dissimilites intermedius sp. nov. is an intermediate form between D. dissimilis and D. trinodosum. The new species combines the ribbing style of D. dissimilis (bifurcating with intercalating single ribs) with the tuberculation style of D. trinodosum (trituberculation on entire shell). The shallow-helical spire, entirely comprising single ribs intercalated by trituberculated main ribs, is similar to the one of the assumed ancestor Acrioceras, whereas the increasing curvation of the younger forms resembles similar patterns observed in the descendant Toxoc- eratoides. These characters support the hypothesis of a direct evolutionary lineage from Acrioceras via Dissimilites to Toxoceratoides. D. intermedius sp. nov. ranges from the upper Lower Barremian (Moutoniceras moutonianum Zone) to the lower Upper Barremian (Toxancyloceras vandenheckii Zone). The new species allows to better understand the evolu- tion of the genus Dissimilites. The genus appears within the Nicklesia pulchella Zone represented by D. duboise, which most likely evolved into D. dissimilis. In the Kotetishvilia compressissima Zone, two morphological forms developed: smaller forms very similar to Acrioceras and forms with very long shaft and juvenile spire like in D. intermedius sp. nov. The latter most likely gave rise to D. subalternatus and D. trinodosum in the M.

  • Stable Carbon-Isotope Chemostratigraphy Versus Ammonite Biostratigraphy: Data from Around the Barremian/Aptian Boundary (Lower Cretaceous)
    STRATA, 2020, série 2e, vol. 56: 1-31 Stable carbon-isotope chemostratigraphy versus ammonite biostratigraphy: data from around the Barremian/Aptian boundary (Lower Cretaceous) Camille Frau1 Abstract. The complex and ornate carbon-isotope excursion of the lower Aptian Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE) 1a is used as a potent means of worldwide marine correlations that has the potential to provide an independent control based on controversial ammonite dating. Re-examination of the best-documented expanded sections of the Tethyan, Boreal, and Pacific realms highlight the inconsistent positioning of ammonite key markers – mainly Deshayesitidae and Douvilleiceratidae – relative to the OAE 1a carbon- isotope excursion. This is not only due to taxonomic issues and substantial provincialism but also the weaknesses in the stratigraphic record caused by the sedimentary context of that oceanic anoxic event. Much detailed study and refinement of existing data are needed to reduce volatility in ammonite zonal boundaries from around the Barremian/Aptian boundary. Keywords. Ammonite, Carbon isotope; Chemostratigraphy, Aptian, Cretaceous, Oceanic Anoxic Event. Article history: manuscript receveid Novembre 23, 2020; accepted in revised form Decembre 16, 2020; available on line Decembre 30, 2020. Chimiostratigraphie de l’isotope du carbone versus biostratigraphie des ammonites : données autour de la limite Barrémien/Aptien (Crétacé Inférieur). Résumé. Les motifs caractéristiques de l’excursion du carbone associée à l’Évènement Anoxique Océanique (OAE) 1a de l’Aptien inférieur sont utilisés comme un outil puissant pour corréler mondialement les séries marines, et ont le potentiel pour fournir un contrôle indépendant des datations controversées basées sur les ammonites. Le réexamen des coupes les mieux documentées des domaines Téthysien, Boréal, et Pacifique montre la position irrégulière des marqueurs clefs ammonitiques – surtout ceux des Deshayesitidae et des Douvilleiceratidae – par rapport à l’excursion de l’OAE 1a.

  • A Comparison of the Ammonite Faunas of the Antarctic Peninsula and Magallanes Basin
    J. geol. Soc. London, Vol. 139, 1982, pp. 763-770, 1 fig, 1 table. Printed in Northern Ireland A comparison of the ammonite faunas of the Antarctic Peninsula and Magallanes Basin M. R. A. Thomson SUMMARY: Ammonite-bearingJurassic and Cretaceous sedimentary successions are well developed in the Antarctic Peninsula and the Magallanes Basin of Patagonia. Faunas of middle Jurassic-late Cretaceous age are present in Antarctica but those of Patagonia range no earlier than late Jurassic. Although the late Jurassic perisphinctid-dominated faunas of the Antarctic Peninsulashow wide-ranging Gondwana affinities, it is not yet possible to effect a close comparison with faunas of similar age in Patagonia because of the latter's poor preservation and our scant knowledge of them. In both regions the Neocomian is not well represented in the ammonite record, although uninterrupted sedimentary successions appear to be present. Lack of correspondence between the Aptian and Albian faunas of Alexander I. and Patagonia may be due to major differences in palaeogeographical setting. Cenomanian-Coniacian ammonite faunas are known only from Patagonia, although bivalve faunas indicate that rocks of this age are present in Antarctica. Kossmaticeratid faunas mark the late Cretaceous in both regions. In Antarcticathese have been classified as Campanian, whereas in Patagonia it is generally accepted, perhaps incorrectly, that these also range into the Maestrichtian. Fossiliferous Jurassic and Cretaceous marine rocks are rize first those of the Antarctic Peninsula and then to well developedin theAntarctic Peninsula, Scotia compare them with those of Patagonia.

    Carnets de Géologie / Notebooks on Geology - Memoir 2008/03 (CG2008_M03) The Douvilleiceratidae (Ammonoidea) of the Lower Aptian historical stratotype area at Cassis-La Bédoule (SE France). 1 Pierre ROPOLO 2 Gabriel CONTE 3 Michel MOULLADE 4 Guy TRONCHETTI 5 Roland GONNET Abstract: Recent biostratigraphic research in the marly limestones of the Cassis-La Bédoule area (SE France) provided a rich macrofauna of Douvilleiceratidae PARONA & BONARELLI, 1897. From the uppermost Barremian (Pseudocrioceras waagenoides Subzone) to the middle Aptian (Parahoplites melchioris Zone), specimens of Procheloniceras, Cheloniceras, Roloboceras, Megatyloceras and Epicheloniceras were collected in succession. In this paper we describe the various genera and species from this material and delimit precisely their stratigraphic positions. Our study shows that each genus or subgenus characterizes a discrete stratigraphic interval. In addition, the Cheloniceras meyendorffi (upper Bedoulian), Epicheloniceras debile, Epicheloniceras gracile, and Epicheloniceras buxtorfi (Gargasian = middle Aptian) subzones, originally defined in England by CASEY (1961a), are identified for the first time in the Lower Aptian stratotypic area of Cassis-La Bédoule.

  • Barremian and Aptian Mollusca of Gabal Mistan and Gabal Um Mitmani, Al-Maghara Area, Northern Sinai, Egypt
    Journal of American Science, 2010;6(12) http://www.americanscience.org Barremian and Aptian Mollusca of Gabal Mistan and Gabal Um Mitmani, Al-Maghara Area, Northern Sinai, Egypt HOSNI HAMAMA Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Mansura University, Mansura 35516, Egypt. [email protected] Abstract: A very rich assemblage of 40 Molluscan species was identified from the Lower Cretaceous succession of Gabal Mistan and Um Mitmani lying at the extremity of the northern flank of Gabal Al-Maghara, northern Sinai. These are used to date the investigated material as Barremian and Aptian. Comparison of the Sinai material with coeval deposits in the northern Caucasus and Western Europe signifies a possible direct marine connection between these areas. [Hosni Hamama. Barremian And Aptian Mollusca Of Gabal Mistan And Gabal Um Mitmani Al-Maghara Area, Northern Sinai, Egypt. Journal of American Science 2010; 6(12):1702-1714]. (ISSN: 1545- 1003). http://www.americanscience.org. Keywords: Barremian, Aptian, Albian, Mollusca, North Sinai. 1. Introduction Aim and Material: The stratigraphic boundaries of the Lower Cretaceous chronostratigraphic units are a matter 2. Systematic Paleontology of great deal. Ammonites are used successfully for this More than forty five species of ammonites, achievement. The author focuses attention to delineate gastropods, Pelecyopods were identified. All the the stages of Barremian, Aptian and Albian (Hegab et al.; collected specimens were collected by the author and they Hamama, 1992, 1993 and 2000). Rich Molluscan were deposited at the Geological Museum of the Geology specimens were collected by the author during field Department, Mansura University. The systematic of excursions from the area east of Gabal Lagama at Gabal ammonites are adopted after Moore (1996), and for the Mistan and Gabal Um Mitmani.
