Nikolov THE MEDITERRANEAN LOWER CRETACEOUS Sofia.1987 PUBLISHING HOUSE OF THE BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES In this monograph the Lower Cretaceous of the Mediterranean palaeogeographic Region is considered. The Lower Cretaceous sediments in this large area are developed in varions faciès and are rich in fossils. On the background of a broad, almost global panorama the author considers the foundation of stratigraphy of the Lower Creta­ ceous in the Mediterranean Region, the regional stratigraphie features of the development of the Series In local areas, the evolution and palaeobiogeography of the Early Cretaceous marine organisms in the Mediterranean, as well as the basic features of the geological evolu­ tion of these areas during Early Cretaceous. The book is the first synthesis of this kind on the Lower Cre­ taceous of such a large area and represents a long-term research of the author in Bulgaria and in many other countries as well. The monograph is designed to be of interest for a broad circle of specialists — geologists, geophysicists and students of corresponding professional fields. Тодор Георгиев Няколов Превод от български език Нсдялка Гочсва Чакалова 1987 с/о Jusautor, Sofia 55 PREFACE The idea for this study arose several years ago, when the author had to investigate the Bulgarian Lower Cretaceous in a wide (almost global) stratigraphie and pa- laeographic panorama. Even at that time a picture emerged, representing — figuratively speaking — an "Alpian-Himalayan" mixing of various processes and phenomena, with different interferences in the concrete regions and provinces. Parallel with this, there appeared the contours of definite trends of great signific­ ance for the Early Cretaceous geological evolution of one of the most dynamic areas in the Earth's crust. In view of the level of present-day knowledge on the Lower Cretaceous in Bul­ garia, it may be assumed that its investigation over a wider area would contribute to the further development of the theory and practice of Lower Cretaceous stra­ tigraphy. Another impetus for this difficult work is the practical lack of a generalization of the Lower Cretaceous in world literature. After Kilian's synthesis in Lethaea Geognostica (K i 1 i a n, 1907-1913) concerning the Lower Cretaceous in Southern France, only Eristavi ( Эристави, 1962) has made an attempt at a generali­ zation of the Lower Cretaceous in the Alpine Zone, though his work is rather sche­ matic. The Mediterranean Region is part of the Tethys Ocean (Tethys Belt in palaeo- biogeographic sense of the term). The Tethys is known to have comprised vast an­ cient marine aquatoria which crossed theMegagea from the Proto-Atlantic to the west, to the Proto-Pacific to the east (S t i 11 e, 1946). It covered vast areas of North­ western Africa, Southern Europe, the Caucasus, Asia Minor, Iran, Afghanistan, the Himalayas and Indo-China to the Caroline corner in the Proto-Pacific. The Tethys Ocean was the conflict space between several lithospheric plates. It gener­ ated tto Alpian-Himalayan Mountain Belt, while its fragments are the Mediter- raneansea, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf and the seas of the Malayan Archipelago (B i j u-D u v a 1, 1974; В i j u-D u v a 1 et al., 1976). The Mediterranean Region comprises Northern Africa, Southern Europe, the Caucasus and Asia Minor. It is characterized by specific development of the Lower Cretaceous, in contrast to the other adjacent regions and provinces (Volgian, Boreal, Himalayan, Malgash, Andian). Various facies are developed in this region: from deep-sea to continental. Rich fossil associations belonging to different groups of organisms are found. The present monograph is based on the results of the studies on the Lower Cretaceous in Bulgaria, carried out by the author since 1957. In addition, between 1960 and 1984 the author had the opportunity to investigate and collect materials from different countries in the Mediterranean Region (Algeria, France, Switzer­ land, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Poland and the Soviet Union). The study of the Lower Cretaceous over such a vast area came' up against many difficulties, especially with respect to some countries where the series has been insuf- 5 ficiently investigated. On the other hand, generalizations always conceal the poten­ tial danger of a superficial survey. This is why, the author's intention has been to comprise as fully as possible the general trends in the development of the Lower Cretaceous, by presenting the factual material serving as a starting point. In an attempt at concise presentation of the material, detailed characterization of the series in the individual countries has been avoided. The interpretations reflect the author's theoretical views and his concept about the stratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous. When examining the Lower Cretaceous in such a vast area, considerably more attention has been devoted to the Lower Cretaceous in Bulgaria. With this the author's aim has been to offer a better opportunity to foreign readers to become familiar with the stratigraphie investigations of the Lower Cretaceous in this coun­ try, because the relevant literature published so far is mainly in Bulgarian. On the other hand, the monograph also contains relatively brief information about Greece, Turkey and the Middle East, both due to the limited Lower Cretaceous outcrops there and to the small number of specialized studies. The area to the east of the Caspian Sea and Iran manifests faunistic (and mainly ammonite) elements, which are alien to the Mediterranean Lower Cretaceous. The author is indebted to a number of colleagues and friends who have helped him in different ways and who have contributed to the successful outcome of the present studies. Profound gratitude is due to the author's teacher, Academician Ekim Bon- cev, who suggested the investigation of the Lower Cretaceous. The author has carried out joint studies of the Lower Cretaceous according to different groups of organisms, joint stratigraphie and lithological studies, or studies of stratigraphically related (transitional) levels together with a number of colleagues over different periods. In this connection the author would like to acknow­ ledge gratefully the cooperation with Mrs. D. Bakalova, Prof. M. Stojanova-Vergi- lova, Dr. A. Goranov, Mrs. L. Dodekova, Mrs. P. Jovôeva, Dr. T. Kovatcheva, Dr. B. Monov, Dr. I. Nachev and Dr. Kh. Khrischev. Special gratitude is due to Dr. N. Ruskova for the lithological studies of the Lower Cretaceous rocks used in the present study, as well as for the joint investi­ gations of the Lower Cretaceous in Northern Bulgaria. Most cordial thanks also to the colleagues Dr. G. Mandov, Dr. I. Sapunov and Dr. J. Tencov for the discussions and valuable suggestions in connection with the present work. The author is closely linked with Dr. I. Sapunov and Dr. G. Man­ dov by years of joint fruitful work, which is highly appreciated. In the course of his work over many years, the author has had the opportunity and the privilege to discuss various problems concerning Lower Cretaceous stra­ tigraphy with many colleagues from abroad. Many of them kindly provided litera­ ture not available in Bulgaria, as well as plaster casts or original ammonites from the collections of various institutes and/or museums abroad. Therefore it is a pleas­ ant duty to acknowledge the cooperation of Dr. V. P. Egoyan (Krasnodar), Prof. G. Y. Krimholz (Leningrad), Dr. I. A. Mihaylova (Moscow), Dr. В. T. Yanin (Mos­ cow), Dr. I. G. Sazanova (Moscow), Academician J. Fiilôp (Budapest), Dr. R. Bus- nardo (Lyon), Prof. M. Durand Delga (Toulouse), Prof. Ch. Pomerol (Paris), Dr. J.-P. Thieuloy (Grenoble), Dr. R. Casey (London), Dr. P. Rawson (London) and Prof. J. Wiedmann (Tubingen). The author also remembers with gratitude the joint work on Lower Cre­ taceous terrains in Algeria with the colleagues Dr. D. Kozuharov, Dr. Tz. Tzan- kov, Dr. P. Tchoumatchenco, Dr. Z. Nikolov, Dr. N. Zidarov and Mr. I. Slavov. Research in France was facilitated by the colleagues Prof. M. Durand Delga, Prof. P. Rat, Dr. R. Busnardo, Dr. J.-P. Thieuloy, Dr. G. le Hégarat, Dr. G. Thomel, Dr. J.-P. Masse, Prof. S. Fabre-Taxy, Prof. J. Sornay, Prof. Ch. Pomerol; in Switzer- 6 land — by Prof. J. Rcmane, Dr. H.-P. Funk, Mr. M. Gazay, Mr. M. Lanterno; in Hungary — by Academician J. Fiilôp: in Czechoslovakia — by Dr. Z. Roth; in Poland — by Dr. F. Szymakowska; in Romania — by Prof. L. Contescu, Prof. D. Patrulius and Prof. G. Raileanu. The author is particularly obliged to many Soviet specialists who not only shared their knowledge and experience, but also provided the opportunity for him to work on Lower Cretaceous sections in the southern regions of the USSR. In 1960 the author had the privilege of being member for six months of the Complex Southern Geological Expedition of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, which worked in the Crimea, in the Caucasus and in the southern periphery of the Russian Plat­ form. Deep gratitude and respect is due to the late Prof. V. P. Rentgarten, to Prof. N. P. Luppov and Prof. V. V. Drushchitz for providing information on the prob­ lems of Lower Cretaceous stratigraphy in the USSR. The author is grateful especially to Dr. N. Ruskova and Dr. I. Sapunov for read­ ing the manuscript of the book and for many good suggestions. The completion of the present work would have been impossible without the assistance of my colleagues from the Department of Palaeontology at Sofia Uni­ versity.

Results of a strati- graphical study of the uppermost Barremian and the lower Aptian succession in the Trans-Caspian area are presented. The bed-by-bed description of three sections — Keldzhe, Tekedzhik and Utu- ludzha — is given as well as detailed lithologic columns. Five ammonite zones are known in the stud- ied stratigraphic interval — the Turkmeniceras turkmenicum, Deshayesites tuarkyricus, D. weissi, D. deshayesi, and Dufrenoya furcata zones. These zones are correlated with those of Europe. The Bar- remian/Aptian boundary in the Trans-Caspian area should be drawn at the base of the D. tuarkyricus Zone. It corresponds to the layers with the first occurrences of Deshayesites, Prodeshayesites and Para- deshayesites in Europe. It is proposed here to situate the boundary stratotype in the Utuludzha section, where the beds containing zonal representatives of the T. turkmenicum and D. tuarkyricus Zones are almost adjacent.

  • 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 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.

For the first time the pro-ostracum was observed in the first camerae of the phragmocone. The presence of a pro-ostracum in early shell ontogeny supports Naef”s opinion (1922) that belemnites had an internal skeleton during their entire ontogeny, starting from the earliest post-hatching stages. This interpretation has been previously questioned by several writers. The outer and inner surfaces of the juvenile pro-ostracum were studied. The gross morphology of these surfaces is similar to that at adult ontogenetic stages. Median sections reveal that the pro-ostracum consists of three thin layers: an inner and an outer prismatic layer separated by a fine lamellar, predominantly organic layer. These layers extend from the dorsal side of the conotheca to the ventral side. The information obtained herein confirms the idea that the pro-ostracum represents a structure not present in the shell of ectocochleate cephalopods (Doguzhaeva, 1999, Doguzhaeva et al.

  • 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.

  • Water Regime of Trans-Boundary Rivers Between Bulgaria and Serbia
    GEOGRAPHICAL INSTITUTE “JOVAN CVIJIĆ” SASA JOURNAL OF THE … Vol. 60 № 2 YEAR 2010 Original scientific paper 911.2:551.49 HYDROLOGICAL PICTURE OF NIŠAVA TRANS-BOUNDARY CATCHMENT Nelly Hristova1* *University St. Kliment Ohridski, Faculty of Geology and Geography, Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract: This work focuses on hydrographic and hydrological specific of Nišava River. It uses all hydrometric and cartographic information for the Bulgarian part of the catchment. Trans- boundary catchment of Nišava River includes four sub-basins, which are trans-borders too. There are a lot of karst areas in the river basin. The drainage density is 1.09 km/km2. Water resources of Nišava River are 170 million m3. They vary between 300.0 and 84.0 million m3. The period of high water appears in March/April and finishes in June. The frequency of monthly maximum is biggest in April or May. The monthly minimum appears most often in September or October. Floods in the catchment of the river Nišava are most often in March, May and June. Some of the rivers lose its waters in the karst areas and dries up during the summer. The average number of days with ice is between 10 and 70. The chemical and ecological status of river water is good. Key words: Nišava River, water resources, stream flow’s regime Introduction There are 71 international river basins in Europe witch cover 54 % of total area (Wolf et al., 1999). One of them – Danube basin, includes some trans-boundary catchments between Bulgaria and Serbia – drainage basins of Timok River (right tributary of Danube) and Nišava River (right tributary of South Morava).

KOLLMANN (With 1 text-figure and 6 plates) (Manuscript submitted on December 19th 2001, the revised manuscript on Januray 31st 2002) Abstract This paper gives a synopsis and systematic revision of Lower Cretaceous gastropods of the Helvetic Zone in Vorarlberg, Austria. All investigated specimens are parts of public collections. Besides types and refe- rence specimens, hitherto scientifically not investigated material is documented and mostly figured. The assemblage of the Upper Valanginan to Lower Hauterivian Kieselkalk Formation (mainly Gemsmättli Member) yielded 18 taxa. From the Barremian to Early Aptian Schrattenkalk Formation, 13 taxa are described, whereas 2 taxa stem from the Aptian Luitere Bed of the Gams Formation and 14 taxa from the Albian Garschella Formation. Due to the poor preservation, many taxa are specifically indeterminable. The assemblages closely resemble contemporary ones of the Swiss Jura, the Haute Savoie and the Anglo- Parisian Basin. Two new species are introduced: Pyrgotrochus concavus (fam. Pleurotomariidae) and Pseudonerinea vaceki (fam. Ceritellidae). Zusammenfassung Aus der Unterkreide des Helvetikums von Vorarlberg beschriebene, in Fossillisten erwähnte und bisher unbeschriebene Gastropodentaxa aus öffentlichen Sammlungen werden systematisch revidiert, beschrieben und größtenteils abgebildet.

G. Nikolov, K. H. Stoykova, M. I. Ivanov (Submitted, by Corresponding Member V. Tsankov on April 18, 1983) One of the research projects carried out by the Department of Palaentolo- gy at the Sofia University in recent years has been the detailed study of the biostratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous in North-Eastern Bulgaria. Part of this project was included in the graduation thesis of K. Stoykova on the Aptian stage in the lower reaches of the Yantra River, and also in the studies into the Lower Cretaseous carried out by T. Nikolov in the natural open layers and in the deep drillings between the Yantra and the Black Sea. Very interesting data were obtained from the investigation of the uninter­ rupted Barrcmian-Aptian section a[ the Katselovo Village, Rousse District. This section presents a monotonous rhythmic alternation of marls, clay lime­ stones, and sparse seams of rather pure limestones, developed mainly in the upper part. The section provides a very good opportunity for observing the stratigraphic ammonite occurence in a clay-carbonate medium. Viewed from top to bottom, the section at Katselovo Village, Rousse District, reveals the following sequences: ^ 5 ."Thin-layer beige marls exteremely rich in fossil fauna.

  • 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.

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.
