BATHONIAN<br />

ANDALUSIA 249<br />

Traces of the Bathonian so far known are slight but definite. In the<br />

western Penibetic, compact limestones with strings of marl have yielded<br />

Eligmus polytypus, Terebratula circumdata and Rhynchonella cf. varians<br />

(Bertrand & Kilian, 1889, p. 424). In the Subbetic are marly limestones<br />

with Posidonia alpina, partly Upper Bajocian and partly Bathonian, since<br />

they yield Nannolytoceras tripartitum (Raspail), Wagnericeras forticostatum<br />

FIG. 30.- -The Arc of Gibraltar, showing the relationships of the Jurassic of<br />

Spain, Gibraltar and the Rif of Morocco. After Bailey.<br />

(de Grossouvre) and Bullatimorphites. B. bullatus (d'Orb.) was also found<br />

beneath the Callovian at one of the two dated Callovian occurrences<br />

(Fallot, 1933).<br />

BAJOCIAN<br />

Though greatly reduced, the Bajocian may be complete, to judge by<br />

records of Ludwigia murchisonae, Otoites sauzei, Stephanoceras humphriesianum,<br />

Skirroceras bayleanum, Chondroceras, Normannites braikenridgei,<br />

etc., and Posidonia alpina beds with Spiroceras, Bigotites and Oecotraustes<br />

genicularis of the Upper Bajocian. As in Algeria and elsewhere, the<br />

Bajocian is often represented by limestones with Cancellophycus (Fallot,<br />
