An assemblage of chondrichthyans is described from the new locality near Serafimovich town (the western part of Volgograd region). More than 2500 fossils were collected from the basal gravel-pebble bed and phosphorite-bearing layer from the lower part of the Buzinovka formation (upper Paleocene). There are reworked Cretaceous and Paleocene chondrichthyans (6 species) and synchronous 21 species of sharks and 2 species of chimaeroids. The presence of synchronous Gluekmanotodus heinzelini, Odontaspis winkleri, Paraorthacodus eocaenus, Xampylodon loozi allows correlating the described lower part of the Buzinovka formation with NP8 – NP9 nannoplankton zones or Alisocysta margarita – Axiodinium augustum dinocyst zones (Thanetian – basal Ypresian).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
