Additional Late Cretaceous belemnitellids from the Corbières, French Pyrenees and ammonite biostratigraphy of the Santonian

Two new, nearly complete specimens of Belemnellocamax ex gr. grossouvrei are described from the base of the Santonian Sougraigne Blue Marls Formation of the Corbières in the French Pyrenees. This group is rare, but widely distributed in the North European palaeobiogeographic Province of the North Temperate Realm and occurs also in the northernmost part of the Tethyan Realm. In the Corbières it is now recorded from the base and top of the Sougraigne Blue Marls, which is assigned, on the basis of revised ammonite data, to the Placenticeras polyopsis and Texanites gallicus Concurrent-range-zone. This zone embraces most or all of the Santonian in the Corbières.
