Correlation with the biostratigraphical Biostratigraphy framework based on ammonites from Kachchh, western India, places the age of the Suowa Formation as Suowa Formation Middle Bathonian to Early Middle Callovian. An unconformity and depositional break between the Suowa Formation and the overlying Lower Cretaceous Xueshan Formation is proposed. Characteristic ammonite-taxa of Kachchh appearing in the northwestern Qiangtang area document significant dispersal from the Indo-Malgach Province to the northern margin of eastern Tethys region for the first time. ß 2016 The Geologists’ Association.

The northern Qiangtang region can be subdivided into northern Qiangtang until the 1988, particularly in the area from the eastern Yanshiping-Cuoriju area and the western Bailong- Yanshiping to Cuoriju where ammonites are extremely rare due to binghe-Bandaohu (Changhonghe) area based on differences in the very shallow-water facies.

  • The Middle Jurassic of Western and Northern Europe: Its Subdivisions, Geochronology and Correlations
    The Middle Jurassic of western and northern Europe: its subdivisions, geochronology and correlations John H. Callomon The palaeogeographic settings of Denmark and East Greenland during the Middle Jurassic are outlined. They lay in the widespread epicontinental seas that covered much of Europe in the post-Triassic transgression. It was a period of continuing eustatic sea-level rise, with only distant connections to world oceans: to the Pacific, via the narrow Viking Straits between Greenland and Norway and hence the arctic Boreal Sea to the north; and to the subtropical Tethys, via some 1200 km of shelf-seas to the south. The sedimentary history of the region was strongly influenced by two factors: tectonism and climate. Two modes of tectonic movement governed basinal evolution: crustal extension lead- ing to subsidence through rifting, such as in the Viking and Central Grabens of the North Sea; and subcrustal thermal upwelling, leading to domal uplift and the partition of marine basins through emergent physical barriers, as exemplified by the Central North Sea Dome with its associated volcanics. The climatic gradient across the 30º of temperate latitude spanned by the European seas governed biotic diversity and biogeography, finding expression in rock-forming biogenic carbonates that dominate sediments in the south and give way to largely siliciclastic sediments in the north. Geochronology of unrivalled finesse is provided by standard chronostratigraphy based on the biostratigraphy of ammonites. The Middle Jurassic saw the onset of considerable bioprovincial endemisms in these guide-fossils, making it necessary to construct parallel standard zonations for Boreal, Subboreal or NW European and Submediterranean Provinces, of which the NW European zonation provides the primary international standard.

  • Correlations of the Jurassic Sediments: Infra-Getic Unit

The Infra-Getic Unit is a palaeogeographic unit, predestined by palaeotectonics. From the point of view of geological heritage, it represents a geosites framework. For the purpose of the correlation, the Serbian sections of Lukanja, Bogorodica Monastery, Rosoma~ and Senokos, as well as the Bulgarian sections of Komshtitsa, Gintsi, and Stanyantsi were used. The Jurassic sediments of the Infra-Getic Unit crop out on the southern slops of the Stara Planina Mountain in east Serbia and west Bulgaria. The Lower Jurassic started with continental and continental-marine sediments (clays and sandstones) (Lukanja clastics and Lukanja coal beds in Serbia and the Tuden Formation in Bulgaria) and continue with Lukanja quartz sandstones (Serbia) and the Kostina Formation (Bulgaria). These sediments are covered by Lukanja brachiopod beds and Lukanja limestones (Serbia) and the Romanov Dol, Ravna and Dolni Loukovit Members of the Ozirovo Formation (Bulgaria) pre- dominantly consist of bioclastic limestones. The sedimentations follow with Lukanja belemnites-gryphaea beds (marls and clayey limestones), which in Bulgaria correspond to the Bukorovtsi Member (also marls and clayey limestones) of the Ozirovo Formation. The Middle Jurassic sedimentation started with black shales with Bossitra alpine. These sediments are individualized in Serbia as Senokos aleurolites and clays and in Bulgaria they are known as the Etropole Formation. In Serbia the section continues with sandstones called Vodeni~ki sandstones of Bajocian age, known in Bulgaria as the Dobrogled Member of the Polaten Formation.

  • 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.

Buffler, and J. Blickwede, eds., The Circum-Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean: Hydrocarbon habitats, basin 25 formation, and plate tectonics: AAPG Memoir 79, p. 545–581. Stratigraphic Constraints on the Late Jurassic–Cretaceous Paleotectonic Interpretations of the Placetas Belt in Cuba Andrzej Pszczo´łkowski Institute of Geological Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warszawa, Poland Ryszard Myczyn´ski Institute of Geological Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warszawa, Poland ABSTRACT he Placetas belt in north-central Cuba consists of Late Jurassic–Cretaceous rocks that were highly deformed during the Paleocene to middle Eocene T arc-continent collision. The Late Proterozoic marble and Middle Jurassic granite are covered by the shallow-marine arkosic clastic rocks of late Middle Jurassic(?) or earliest Late Jurassic(?) ages. These arkosic rocks may be older than the transgressive arkosic deposits of the Late Jurassic–earliest Cretaceous Con- stancia Formation. The Berriasian age of the upper part of the Constancia For- mation in some outcrops at Sierra Morena and in the Jarahueca area does not confirm the Late Jurassic (pre-Tithonian) age of all deposits of this unit in the Placetas belt. The Tithonian and Berriasian ammonite assemblages are similar in the Placetas belt of north-central Cuba and the Guaniguanico successions in western Cuba. We conclude that in all paleotectonic interpretations, the Placetas, Camajuanı´, and Guaniguanico stratigraphic successions should be considered as biogeographically and paleogeographically coupled during the Tithonian and the entire Cretaceous.

Studováni byli především amoniti z jurských vápenců na lokalitách Brno-Hády a Olomučany. Přesné stáří jurských vrstev na těchto lokalitách, především v měřítku amonitových zón a subzón, nebylo doposud jednoznačně určeno. Vzhledem k tomu, že amoniti z těchto lokalit byli zpracovávaní naposledy před mnoha dekádami a poznání jejich taxonomie a biostratigrafie vyznamně pokročilo, vyvstala potřeba provést revizi.

Abstract The following Middle Jurassic ammonite families (subfamilies) are described from the Dalichai Formation north of Damghan (eastern Alborz), some of them for the first time: Phylloceratidae, Lytoceratidae, Oppeliidae (Hecticoceratinae), Stephanoceratidae (Cadomitinae), Tulitidae and Reineckeiidae. The fauna is typically Northwest-Tethyan and closely related to Central Europe (Subboreal – Submediterra- nean Provinces). Key words: Ammonites, Dalichai Formation, Middle Jurassic, Alborz, Iran Zusammenfassung Aus der Dalichai Formation nördlich von Damghan (Ostalborz) werden einige mitteljurassische Ammoniten, teils zum ersten Mal, beschrieben. Folgende Familien und Unterfamilien sind vertreten: Phylloceratidae, Lytoceratidae, Oppeliidae (Hecticoceratinae), Steph- anoceratidae (Cadomitinae), Tulitidae und Reineckeiidae. Die Fauna ist typisch für die Nordwest-Tethys und zeigt enge Beziehungen zu Zentraleuropa (Subboreale und Submediterrane Faunenprovinz). Schlüsselwörter: Ammoniten, Dalichai Formation, Mittlerer Jura, Alborz, Iran Introduction the frame of a MSc. thesis. For the present study, a new section nearby was chosen and collections The present study is a continuation of a larger re- were made by A.

During the Bathonian (Montenegro, Soria, Olvega and Ricla forma- tions) the faunas are dominated by the Perisphinctidae (Procerites, Siemi- radkia, Wagnericeraá; h’omeop/anulñes. Ch~ffatia —70 %)4 the other taxa are sorne Oppelidae (Oxycerites, Qecotraustes Prohecticoceras —20 %). Parkinso- niidae (Gonolkites bipistrenoceras —5 %) and Tulitidae íBullatimorphites —5 %). The various recognized species allow to conclude that the Lower Bathonian (Zigzag zone; Convergens and Yeovilensis subzones) is repre- sented as weIl as the Middle Bathonian (Progracilis and Subeontractus zones; Subeontractus and Morrisi subzones) and the Upper Bathonian (Retrocostaturn zone and subzone). It must be noted that Morphoceratidae of Lowermost Baihonian and Clydoniceratidae of Upperrnost Bathonian are missing. In Callovian, (Montenegro, Pozalmuro and Ricla formations) only Ihe lower pad of Ihis stage is dcli in ammonites. The Macroceplialus and Gracilis zones are weII distinguished witb prevalent Macrocephalitidae (Macrocephalites —45 %) and Perisphinctidae (Choifatia, Homeoplanulites, Indosphinctes, Grossouvria —40 %).

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.
