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 />
A.P.G. 19). Very flat, slab·like sides, planar ven·<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 />
temal mold the intercostal spaces are one and a<br />
half times as wide as the ribs; the ribs are very<br />
wide on venter and cross it l in early.<br />
