Outcrops of the Tarkhanovskaya Pristan site represent the northern most Bajocian section of the Russian Platform, where ammonites of Tethyan origin are identified. As is estab lished, the preCallovian sandclay sequence formerly attributed to the Bathonian includes the Garantiana beds of the upper Bajocian in its middle part. The multidisciplinary biostratigraphicsedimentological research showed that downwarping of the Ulyanovsk–Saratov basin and origin of the Simbirsk Bay of the Tethyan marginal sea commenced in the Bajocian Age. The identified fossils of the upper Bajocian and lower and upper Callovian are cited in paleontological plates of this work.

  • Systematics of the Middle Jurassic Heteromorphic Ammonites
    UDC 564. 53 . 01 SYSTEMATICS OF THE MIDDLE JURASSIC HETEROMORPHIC AMMONITES N. V. Besnosov and V. V. Kutuzova All-Union Scientific Research Petroleum Geologic Exploration Institute (VSEGEI) ABSTRACT: The stratigraphic distribution, phylogenetic relationships, and systema­ tics of the Middle Jurassic heteromorphic ammonites and their relationship to the monomorphic ammonites are considered. Sulcohamitoides gen. nov. and Ga�antiana as­ a�jani sp. nov. are described. * * * The vast majority of Middle Jurassic heteromorphic ammonites are shells with a spiral developing early in one plane, all the way to the formation of a straight tube in the outer part of the phragmocone and in the living chamber. They are also characterized by reduction of the U and I lobes in ontogenesis, manifested to a greater or lesser degree, and by only slight dissection of their lobes and saddles. The following generic names of the Jurassic heteromorphs are given in the lite­ rature. A�cuce�as Potonie, 1929, for which the family Arcuceratidae Arkell, 1950 has been proposed. This genus is based on a single species, A. ma�thae Potonie, from the Pliensbachian of Germany, the only specimen of which has been lost. Repeated searches at the type locality have been unsuccessful. It has been suggested that the dating is erroneous, or that the species and genus are based not on a heteromor­ phic ammonite, but on acrinoid stem. Apso��oce�as Hyatt, 1900, occurs in the lower half of the subfu�catum zone of the Upper-Bajocian and has usually been combined with Spi�oce�as Quenstedt, 1858, from which it differs in its less reduced U and I lobes and its finer sculpture.

[Le Ba­ jocien superieur et le Bathonien de la CordiIIere de Domeyko, PrecordilIere Nord-Chilienne : resultats sedimento­ logiques et biostratigraphiquesl. ABSTRACT The Jurassic ammonites of the CordiIIera de Domeyko have been studied in several monographies. The classic memoirs of Steinmann (1881), Tornquist (1898), Burckhardt (1903) and Stehn (1923) are particularly relevant. However, the biostratigraphic problems concerning stage boundaries arisen only in recent dates. New sedimentolo­ gical and biostratigraphical data have been obtained in relation to the BajocianlBathonian of this region. Several sections have been studied in two separate areas : Caracoles and Sierra de Varas. More than one thousand ammonites were collected in situ from these localities. Facies analysis shows that sedimentation during Late Bajocian and Bathonian occurs in a marine environment on a carbonate platform with abundant siliciclastic supply. Facies distribution was controlled by structural segmentation of the platform and processes of differential subsidence. The stratigraphical-sedimentological results together with taphonomical-palaeoecological observations are a diagnostic tool for sequence analysis. The successive ammonite assemblages which were found have allowed the establishment of four biostratigraphic units, spanning the interval from Upper Bajocian to Upper Bathonian. The sedimentological and biostratigraphical results indicate the existence of a regional discontinuity at the base of the Bathonian. KEY-WORDS: MIDDLE JURASSIC, BAJOCIAN, BATHONIAN, AMMONITINA, BIOSTRATIGRAPHY, BIOCHRONOLOGY, ANDES, SOUTH-AMERICA, CHILE.

  • Biostratigraphy, Lithostratigraphy, Ammonite Taxonomy and Microfacies Analysis of the Middle and Upper Jurassic of Norteastern Iran
    Biostratigraphy, Lithostratigraphy, ammonite taxonomy and microfacies analysis of the Middle and Upper Jurassic of norteastern Iran. Dissertation zur Erlangung des Naturwissenschaftlichen Doktorgrades Der Bayerischen Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg vorgelegt von Mahmoud Reza Majidifard aus Teheran Würzburg, 2003-10-22 I To my wife and my daughter II Abstract The Middle and Upper Jurassic sedimentary successions of Alborz in northern Iran and Koppeh Dagh in northeastern Iran comprise four formations; Dalichai, Lar (Alborz) and Chaman Bid, Mozduran (Koppeh Dagh). In this thesis, the biostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy, microfacies, depositional environments and palaeobiogeography of these rocks are discussed with special emphasis on the abundant ammonite fauna. They constitute a more or less continuous sequence, being confined by two tectonic events, one at the base, in the uppermost part of the Shemshak Formation (Bajocian), the so-called Mid-Cimmerian Event, the other one at the top (early Cretaceous), the so-called Late-Cimmerian Event. The lowermost unit constitutes the uppermost member of a siliciclastic and partly continental depositional sequence known as Shemshak Formation. It contains a fairly abundant ammonite fauna ranging in age from Aalenian to early Bajocian. The following unit (Dalichai Formation) begins everywhere with a significant marine transgression of late Bajocian age. The following four sections were measured: The Dalichai section (97 m) with three members; the Golbini-Jorbat composite section (449 m) with three members of the Dalichai Formation (414 m) and two members of the Lar Formation (414 m); the Chaman Bid section (1556 m) with seven members, and the Tooy-Takhtehbashgheh composite section (567 m) with three members of the Dalichai Formation (567 m) and four members of the Mozduran Formation (1092 m).

  • Late Bajocian–Bathonian Ammonites from Northeast Iran
    ACTA PALAEONTOLOGICA ROMANIAE (2015) V. 11 (2), P. 25-41 LATE BAJOCIAN–BATHONIAN AMMONITES FROM NORTHEAST IRAN Mahmoud Reza Majidifard Received: 19 August 2015 / Accepted: 18 December 2015 / Published online: 22 December 2015 Abstract The present study is the first part of a larger work concerning the systematic descriptions of the fairly rich Middle to Upper Jurassic (Late Bajocian–Early Tithonian) ammonite fauna from the northeast of Iran. The described ammonites come from the lower part of the Dalichai Formation, consisting of an alternation of green marl, grey limestone and marly limestone, and comprise the families Phylloceratidae, Spiroceratidae, Oppeliidae, Sphaeroceratidae, Stephanoceratidae, Tulitidae, Parkinsoniidae, Morphoceratidae and Perisphinctidae. Some of the taxa are recorded for the first time from Iran: Adabofoloceras subobtusum, Spiroceras cf. orbignyi, Spiroceras annulatum, Cadomites (Polyplectites) cf. dorni, Sphaeroceras tutthum, Garantiana (Orthogarantiana) cf. Densicostata, Garantiana (Pseudogarantiana) dichotoma, Morphoceras egrediens, Microbajocisphinctes cf. pseudointerruptus, Homoeoplanulites (Homoeoplanulites) cf. bugesiacus, Homoeoplanulites (Parachoffatia) arkelli. The following Upper Bajocian to Lower Bathonian ammonite zones are present: Niortense, Garantiana, Parkinsoni, Zigzag, Retrocostatum and Discus. Palaeobiogeographically, the described ammonite fauna is closely related to those from the Sub-Mediterranean Province of the northwestern Tethys. Keywords: Jurassic; Iran; Late Bajocian–Bathonian; ammonites;
