Abstract
The present paper aims at the description of two new species of Euthyneura (Heterobranchia: Gastropoda) in the Early Jurassic (early Pliensbachian) marine deposits of the Chubut Basin at southern Patagonia, Argentina. The new species Cossmannina australis nov. sp. and Cylindrobullina caquelensis nov. sp. were found at the Cerro Caquel locality located in the western slope of Sierra de Tecka and río Tecka valley. The new locality yielded the ammonite Eoamaltheus sp. (E. meridianus Hillebrandt Zone, upper part of Ibex Zone to Davoei Zone) which allowed to assign an early Pliensbachian age for the marine deposits at the studied area, providing also new evidence of the oldest record within the Early Jurassic in the Sierra de Tecka region. The new report of Euthyneura in the Chubut Basin extends the palaeobiogeographical distribution of this clade into the southern hemisphere during the earliest Pliensbachian.
期刊介绍:
This journal publishes original and review articles on geology and related sciences, in Spanish or English, in three issues a year (January, May and September). Articles or notes on major topics of broad interest in Earth Sciences dealing with the geology of South and Central America and Antarctica, and particularly of the Andes, are welcomed.
The journal is interested in publishing thematic sets of papers and accepts articles dealing with systematic Paleontology only if their main focus is the chronostratigraphical, paleoecological and/or paleogeographical importance of the taxa described therein.
