Abstract: | Simionescu's (1899) inoceramid material from the topmost Turonian/Lower Coniacian of Ürmös (Ormenis), Transylvania, Romania contains ten species which are for the first time photographically illustrated. Of four new forms described by Simionescu (1899a), three referred here toMytiloides carpathicus(Simionescu),Cremnoceramus globosus(Simionescu), andC. transilvanicus(Simionescu), represent valid species. The type of the fourth species,Inoceramus kilianiSimionesu, represents a deformed specimen of an undetermined Late Turonian mytiloid, while the name is formally a junior synonym ofVolviceramus involutus(J. de C. Sowerby). The assemblage is time equivalent of the inoceramid association described from the Krebitz-Zittauer (Saxony, Germany) Cretaceous by Andert (1911) but, contrary to suggestions of Heinz (1930), the forms described by Andert and Simionescu are not conspecific. |
