A prominent assemblage with Kepplerites Aalenian M murchisonae Ludwidgia murchisonae svalbardensis and cardioceratids above Arcticoceras-bearing unit is typical for the Upper Bathonian Variabile and Calyx Zones. Typical Lower Callovian ammonites are unknown in Spitsbergen. Middle Callovian is mainly represented by its uppermost part 175 L Leioceras opalinum (cf. Kopik, Wierzbowski, 1988), while ammonites typical for lower part of the Middle Callovian remain unfigured (Ershova, 175.6±2.0 Korchinskaya, 1980). Upper Callovian here is well-characterized by numerous records of cardioceratids. Although presence of Middle-Upper Oxfordian gap is widely accepted by those who studying Jurassic of Spitsbergen and adjacent areas, in fact nearly full succession of the Oxfordian ammonite zones was established for this region by Ershova (1983). In the famous Festningen section basal part of the Late Jurassic black shales (Lardyfjellet Mb) is dated by early Amoeboceras as Glosense (=Ilovaiskii) Zone. Kimmeridgian Stage in Spitsbergen is represented by full succession of Boreal zones (Rogov, 2014), and only two thin intervals are characterized by short-term appearance of Subboreal aulacostephanid ammonites (cymodoce and sachsi horizons), possibly indicating small-ranged climate oscillations.The Volgian Stage in Spitsbergen is intensively studied during the last decades. Now nearly full succession of the Middle and Upper Volgian zones is established here (Rogov, 2010; Wierzbowski et al., 2011), while completeness of the Lower Volgian still questioned, because only its uppermost part is characterized by ammonites. It is very possible, that lower part of the Lower Volgian

  • 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.

  • The Jurassic Pleurotomarioidean Gastropod Laevitomaria and Its Palaeobiogeographical History
    The Jurassic pleurotomarioidean gastropod Laevitomaria and its palaeobiogeographical history ROBERTO GATTO, STEFANO MONARI, JÁNOS SZABÓ, and MARIA ALESSANDRA CONTI Gatto, R., Monari, S., Szabó, J., and Conti, M.A. 2015. The Jurassic pleurotomarioidean gastropod Laevitomaria and its palaeobiogeographical history. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 60 (1): 217–233. The genus Laevitomaria is reviewed and its palaeobiogeographical history is reconstructed based on the re-examination of its type species L. problematica, the study of material stored at the National Natural History Museum of Luxembourg, and an extensive review of the literature. The systematic study allows ascribing to Laevitomaria a number of Jurassic species from the western European region formerly included in other pleurotomariid genera. The following new combi- nations are proposed: Laevitomaria allionta, L. amyntas, L. angulba, L. asurai, L. daityai, L. fasciata, L. gyroplata, L. isarensis, L. joannis, L. repeliniana, L. stoddarti, L. subplatyspira, and L. zonata. The genus, which was once considered as endemic of the central part of the western Tethys, shows an evolutionary and palaeogeographical history consider- ably more complex than previously assumed. It first appeared in the Late Sinemurian in the northern belt of the central western Tethys involved in the Neotethyan rifting, where it experienced a first radiation followed by an abrupt decline of diversity in the Toarcian. Species diversity increased again during Toarcian–Aalenian times in the southernmost part of western European shelf and a major radiation occurred during the Middle Aalenian to Early Bajocian in the northern Paris Basin and southern England. After a latest Bajocian collapse of diversity, Laevitomaria disappeared from both the central part of western Tethys and the European shelf.

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.

  • 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 Aalenian-Bajocian northward, with many hiatuses (JAUTÉE, 1984). (Middle Jurassic) of the Digne Basinal facies, represented by marl-limestone alternations, are recorded in the southernmost area areas but in the sector south of the Verdon Davide OLIVERO with the contribution of River a shallow-water platform developed, Emanuela MATTIOLI documented by the occurrence of bioclastic limestones with corals. This development is Geographical and geological context evidence of a progressive extension to the Provence platform southward. The Digne area is located in southeastern France (Fig. 1.1), in the department of "Alpes In the Middle Jurassic, the central part of the de Haute-Provence".
