Ces sites fossilifères, isolés les uns des autres, se trouvent à proximité du Rio Santiago, entre les villages de Santiago et de Patuca (SE de J'Équateur). Ils se rattachent aux assises supérieures de la Formation Santiago. Les faunes les plus anciennes, d'âge probable Sinémurien inférieur, sont dominées par des Arietitidae (Arnioceras), mais elles ont également livré plusieurs spécimens d'une forme nouvelle: Pseudagassiceras equadorensis nov. sp. Les faunes d'âge Sinémurien supérieur sont, à l'exception de quelques rares Schlotheimiidae (Angulaticeras), essentiellement constituées d'Echioceratidae (<<Orthechioceras» et Paltechioceras Tï.

Abstract The ammonite fannas of the Santiago Formation in the Subandean Zone (SE Ecuador, Early Jurassk, Sinemurian).- About fifty ammonites have been collected in five separate fossiliferous localities, These outcrops are scattered in the proxirnity of the Rio Santiago, between the villages of Santiago and Patuca (SE Ecuador). The fossiliferous beds beJong to the upper part of the Santiago Formation and can be attributed to the upper early and late Sinemurian.

  • First Record of the Tethyan Ammonite Genus Canavarites HYATT in the Lower Sinemurian of Germany, with Description of a New Species
    Palaeodiversity 4: 17–21; Stuttgart 30 December 2011. 17 First record of the Tethyan ammonite genus Canavarites HYATT in the Lower Sinemurian of Germany, with description of a new species GÜNTER SCHWEIGERT, MARTIN KAPITZKE & DIETMAR SCHREIBER Abstract A single specimen of the Tethyan ammonite genus Canavarites is recorded from the Lower Sinemurian Arietenkalk Formation of south-western Germany. The specimen was found in a limestone bed in which Vermi- ceras scylla (REYNÈS) is the predominant ammonite species. Thus, the fi nding horizon most likely corresponds to the British Vermiceras scylla biohorizon which lies at the base of the Bucklandi Subzone. A new species, Cana- varites meisteri n. sp., is introduced for the specimen from Swabia. It is the fi rst unequivocal record of this rare genus besides the type localities of the two other Canavarites species near La Spezia in Italy. K e y w o r d s : Ammonites, Arietitidae, biostratigraphy, palaeobiogeography. Zusammenfassung Ein Einzelstück der tethyalen Ammonitengattung Canavarites wird aus der Arietenkalk-Formation des Unter- Sinemuriums in Südwestdeutschland vorgestellt. Es stammt aus einer Kalkbank, in der die Ammonitenart Vermi- ceras scylla (REYNÈS) vorherrscht. Daher dürfte der Fundhorizont dem britischen Biohorizont des Vermiceras scylla an der Basis der Bucklandi-Subzone entsprechen. Für das Stück aus Schwaben wird eine neue Art, Canavarites meisteri n. sp., eingeführt. Sie stellt den ersten unzweifelhaften Nachweis dieser seltenen Gattung außerhalb der Typuslokalitäten der beiden

    SINEMURIAN (EARLY JURASSIC) STRATIGRAPHY AT LAST CREEK, BRITISH COLUMBIA AND FIVE CARD DRAW, NEVADA: PALEONTOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS by PENGFEI HOU M.Sc., China University of Petroleum (Beijing), 2012 B.Sc., China University of Geosciences (Beijing), 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geological Sciences) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2014 © Pengfei Hou, 2014 ABSTRACT Over 400 ammonite specimens were collected from the Last Creek Formation in Last Creek, British Columbia and the Sunrise Formation in Five Card Draw, Nevada. A detailed taxonomic study from the Involutum Zone to the lower part of the Harbledownense Zone of the Sinemurian is presented. At least 38 species are identified and described, distributed amongst 15 genera and 5 families. Three species are introduced as new: Tipperoceras n. sp. A, Tmaegoceras obesus n. sp., Arnioceras n. sp. A. Also, Echioceratidae gen. et sp. indet. is tentatively introduced as a new species and genus. The following zones of the current Sinemurian zonation for western North America (Taylor et al., 2001) can be recognized, based on the stratigraphical distribution of the taxa identified, namely the Involutum, Leslei, Carinatum and Harbledownense zones in ascending order. The Jamesi Zone placed between the last two by Taylor et al. (2001) cannot be recognized in the study areas in either Canada or the United States and therefore it is removed from the current zonation scheme. A revised zonation and definition of the zones, with precise correlation to the primary standard northwest European zonation, are provided.

  • Angulaticeras MS
    Découverte en Bourgogne de deux ammonites sinémuriennes remarquables du genre Angulaticeras, (Schlotheimiidae). Implications taxonomiques et paléobiogéographiques. Jean-Louis DOMMERGUES* et Noël BONNOT** Résumé Deux ammonites, Angulaticeras greenoughi (J. Sowerby, 1816) et A. sp. nov. aff. angustisulcatum (Geyer, 1886) récemment découvertes dans des dépôts du Sinémurien de Bourgogne sont décrites. La seconde de ces formes correspond probablement à une espèce nouvelle. Ces deux ammonites appartiennent à la famille des Schlotheimiidae et plus particulièrement au genre Angulaticeras. La découverte de ces formes rares permet, i) de décrire les modalités, mal connues, de l'ontogenèse, d'un très grand Schlotheimiidae du Sinémurien inférieur, ii) d'affiner la compréhension des relations phylétiques au sein du genre Angulaticeras et iii) de mieux comprendre la signification paléobiogéographique des Schlotheimiidae au sein des faunes du Sinémurien NW européen. Mots-clés : Céphalopodes, Jurassique inférieur, Sinémurien, Ontogenèse, Phylogénie. Abstract Two ammonites, Angulaticeras greenoughi (J. Sowerby, 1816) and A. sp. nov. aff. angustisulcatum (Geyer, 1886), recently collected in the Sinemurian series of Burgundy are described. The latter is probably a new species. These two ammonites belong to the Schlotheimiidae family and to the genus Angulaticeras particularly. The discovery of these two rare ammonites allows, i) to describe the poorly known ontogenetic pattern of a very large Schlotheimiidae of the Early Sinemurian, ii) to precise the phyletic relationships within the genus Angulaticeras and iii) to improve the understanding of the Schlotheimiidae palaeobiogeographic significance within the NW European Sinemurian faunas. Keywords : Cephalopods, Early Jurassic, Sinemurian, Ontogeny, Phylogeny. 1 * Université de Bourgogne, Centre des Sciences de la Terre et de l'Environnement – Biogéosciences, UMR CNRS 5561 - 6 Boulevard Gabriel - 21000 DIJON – FRANCE.
