Preface & acknowledgements
The ammonite groups we treated in this Catalogus are in general not used for precise
stratigraphy because the genera and species have often long ranges over several zones and
stages. For this reason we have included the genera and species of the Upper Cretaceous.
Otherwise it would be a unnatural cut off for phylloceratid and tetragonitid (sub)genera
like Phyllopachyceras, Hypophylloceras, Anagaudryceras, Gaudryceras, Kossmatella
and Tetragonites and for the haploceratid family Binneytidae. Some genera and species
around the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary are also considered because we do not know
their exact stratigraphical position and, moreover, the IUGS did not rule on the boundary
between these two systems.
Once more specialists that are active in research on this superfamilies took part in the
present Fossilium Catalogus.
For decades Bernard JOLY studied the Jurassic and Cretaceous Phylloceratina. He
is the author of three important monographs on the Phylloceratoidea, two on the fauna
of Madagascar and one on that of France. He revised the phylloceratid species of the
Cretaceous described by ALCIDE D’ORBIGNY in his ‘Paleontologie française, Céphalopodes
crétacés’.
The achievement of Zdenĕk VAŠÍČEK is a long list of publications on the Lower
Cretaceous ammonites and stratigraphy of the Carpathians of the Czech and Slovak
Republics, Upper Austria and the Northern Calcareous Alps. He revised the ammonites
described by UHLIG of the ‘Teschener & Wernsdorfer Schichten’.
The senior curator for Invertebrate Paleontology at the National Museum of Nature
and Science of Japan, Yasunari SHIGETA, has published on the Upper Cretaceous
biostratigraphy of Japan and Sakhalin (Russian Far East) and on the systematics of
Tetragonites, Pseudophyllites and Gabbioceras. In 2001 his book „Ammonitology“
appeared.
René HOFFMANN is finishing his Ph D thesis on ‘Functional and phylogenetic significance
of the septallobe in lytoceratid ammonoids’ at the Free University of Berlin. He gave us
a fresh view on the systematics of the Lytoceratina. His comments on (sub)families and
genera of the Lytoceratoidea and Tetragonitoidea are to be found in the Appendix.
