ZONATION OF THE CRETACEOUS OF CENTRAL COLOMBIA BY AMMONITES 43<br />

whorl is subcircular. The third whorl is higher<br />

than wide.<br />

The earliest ornament observed is on the<br />

second volu lion and consists of annular fine<br />

rounded ribs which are visible from near<br />

the umbilical margin, they then trend pr;>rsira·<br />

diate as a very elongated S on the convex·flank,<br />

and cross the venter unihterruptedly; they are<br />

as wide as the intercostal spaces though a cons·<br />

trictlon-like intercostal space can be observe<br />

on this specimen. The ribs rapidly become narrower<br />

than the intercostal spaces (adoral por­<br />

tion of the third volution) and at the same tl­<br />

l]le they broaden on venter; shortly after (H:7<br />

mm) the ribs become prominent on the flanks;<br />

contemporaneously the ribs begin to inflate on<br />

the ad umbilical third of the flank and to con·<br />

tractact on the adventral third; this contraction<br />

is followed by the development of a slight de·<br />

pression of the ribs on their adoral .side along<br />

the median ventral line, this produces delicate<br />

to accentuated humps on both sides of venter;<br />

the ribs have not been observed to be interrup­<br />

ted on venter. At this stage of growth the ribs<br />

are .<br />

prominent, separated by wider intercostal<br />

apaces and they are straight of feebly flexuous.<br />

. • B) Up to 41 mm D (Santa Ana A.P.G.).<br />

As in the preceding specimen, the successive<br />

whorls only cover the external third of the preceding<br />

whorl; the umbilical wall is inclined and<br />

evenly rounds into the flanks; the periventral<br />

rnaigiq is abruptly rounded and the venter is<br />

rounded to flattened.<br />

The . ornament consists of primary ribs<br />

which appear about the middle of the umbilical<br />

wall but may extend, on exterior of shell to the<br />

umbilical seam. The ribs describe a slightly adoral<br />

concavity in the umbilical region, then a con­<br />

laxity on the adumbilical and middle thirds of<br />

th flank where they are flared, then they are<br />

febly concave adomlly or straight on the<br />

adventral third . of . the flank, there they are<br />

.flattened and contracted; the ribs cross the<br />

l't!.n ter straight, flat-topped and prominet; along<br />

. tbe periventral margin the ribs have delicate<br />

lvations. The ribs are now differentiated into<br />

cp,unary and secondary ribs, the former genera­<br />

Only one specimen is available (Sta Ana<br />

ter and very wide, radial ribs which are like clove<br />

buds; ther are slightly but clearly flanged on<br />

the adumbihcal third of the Dank. On t.'t e In·<br />

half times as wide as the ribs; the ribs are very<br />

wide on venter and cross it l in early.<br />
