Taxonomic revision of two Mesozoic ammonites collections housed at the "G.G. Gemmellaro" Museum (Palermo, Sicily).
2013
Two historical collections of Mesozoic ammonites from the Tardàra Mountain (SO Sicily), housed in the “Gaetano Giorgio Gemmellaro” Museum of the University of Palermo, have been revised in this paper. The former and the older collection, studied by Mariano Gemmellaro in the 1919, it is composed of 27 specimens, attributed to 5 genera. All the taxa studied by the Author were referred to the Middle Jurassic, Macrocephalites macrocephalus Zone (early Callovian stage). The second collection, studied by Francesco Bruno in the 1954, consists of 46 specimens attributed to 13 genera. The species identified by Bruno were referred to a chronostratigraphic range spanning from Callovian to Tithonian (M…

La comparacion de las sucesiones de ammonites en el intervalo comprendido entre el Calloviense y el Kimmeridgiense inferior en la region de Sicilia occidental (Roccapalumba-Sciacca) y la Cordillera Iberica nororiental (Sierra de Arcos) muestra una clara similitud y paralelismo en el desarrollo estratigrafico. Esto incluye el registro incompleto del Calloviense inferior, una amplia laguna estratigrafica (Calloviense inferior-Oxfordiense medio) y un registro mas completo del Oxfordiense medio-superior (biozonas Transversarium-Bifurcatus) y Kimmeridgiense inferior. Esto permite inferir una evolucion paleogeografica paralela en ambas regiones del Tethys. Las asociaciones registradas de ammonite…
