Cibolaites petraschecki sp. nov., a new collignoniceratine ammonite from the BrieBnitz Formation of Saxony (Turonian, Elbtal Group, Germany)

A cryptic specimen described by Wilhelm PETRASCHECK in 1902 as Acanthoceras cfr. choffati KOSSMAT and specimens collected more recently represent a new collignoniceratine ammonite species, Cibolaites petraschecki sp. nov., based on material from upper lower to lowermost middle Turonian strata of the...

Zusammenfassung:A cryptic specimen described by Wilhelm PETRASCHECK in 1902 as Acanthoceras cfr. choffati KOSSMAT and specimens collected more recently represent a new collignoniceratine ammonite species, Cibolaites petraschecki sp. nov., based on material from upper lower to lowermost middle Turonian strata of the BrieBnitz Formation of Saxony (Germany). The biostratigraphic classification of the specimens has been safeguarded by the analysis of calcareous nannofossils from the matrix of one specimen. This is the first record of Cibolaites from the Saxonian Cretaceous Basin and one of the few occurrences outside the United States Western Interior Seaway, the genus apparently characterizing an early interval in the Turonian evolutionary history of the Collignoniceratinae.
