Abstract
⺠Ammonite fauna is described for the first time from the Southern Alps (e.g., Dolomites). ⺠A typical Mediterranean assemblage was detected. âºÂ Ammonite abundance peaks occur in the C. krenkeli Zone and the G. sartousiana Zone. âºÂ Hauterivian is dominated by Pseuthurmannia-Crioceratites-Plesiospitidiscus, Barremian by Kotetishvilia-Melchorites-Silesites. ⺠Ammonite abundances are clearly linked to sea-level changes from Late Hauterivian to mid Late Barremian times.
