First record of patrulia (Ammonoidea: Stephanoceratidae) in the upper bajocian of the Northern Caucasus, Russia

Abstract

Ammonites of the genus Patrulia STURANI, 1971, represented by the type species P. aenigmatica STURANI, are known from a few specimens from the base of the Upper Bajocian of Italy and France. A new species, P. karachaica MITTA, the youngest representative of the genus Patrulia, is described herein based on a single specimen from the lower part of the Parkinsoni Zone of the basin of the Kuban River (Karachay-Cherkessia)
