Données nouvelles sur Euaspidoceras ferrugineum Jeannet, Ammonitina (Aspidoceratidae) du Callovien supérieur

description

Abstract A section at the top of Upper Callovian deposits at Louesme (district of Montigny-sur-Aube, Cote-d'Or, France) reveals an unbroken series of strata between the top of the Athleta zone and the base of the Lamberti zone (Upper Callovian). A few specimens of Aspidoceratinae, collected with primitive Quenstedtoceras, are refered to Euaspidoceras ferrugineum Jeannet (1951) . The characters of this species, which was created for individuals collected from the Herznach Mine (Northern Switzerland), are poorly defined from the Swiss material and little is known for this stratigraphic extent. The new find provides information about the ontogeny and the stratigraphic extent of Euaspidoceras ferrugineum (base of the Henrici subzone) and helps refine the phylogenic scheme of the European Callovian Aspidoceratinae. It also casts new light of the faunal content of the Herznach C. level, which can be interpreted as a level of concentrated faunas.
