New records of teleosts from the Late Turonian (Late Cretaceous) of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (Czech Republic)

Cretornis hlavaci Frič, 1881 from the Upper Cretaceous of Czech Republic (Pterosauria, Azhdarchoidea)

“…The Jizera Formation is a part of a transgressiveeregressive cycle deposited during the regressive phase after the maximum transgression characterized by the Bíl a Hora Formation, which is composed of marlstones, micritic limestones and spongolites. The vertebrate fauna of the Jizera and Teplice formations, except the pterosaur Cretornis, consist of diverse chondrichthyan and osteichthyan fishes and marine reptiles (Fri c, 1883;Ekrt et al, 2008;Kear et al, 2014).…”

Palaeontology of the Middle Turonian limestones of the Nysa Kłodzka Graben (Sudetes, SW Poland): biostratigraphical and palaeogeographical implications

“…have been reported from Poland (Niedźwiedzki & Kalina, 2003) and from Czech Republic (Wiese et al, 2004). The genus Lewesiceras was also described from the Turonian of Poland (Marcinowski & Szulczewski, 1972;Walaszczyk, 1988;Tarkowski, 1991; Kin, 2007;Kin & Niedźwiedzki, 2012) and is also known from the Czech Republic (Čech 1989;Uličný et al, 1997;Trbušek 1999Ekrt et al, 2008) and Germany (Seibertz, 1978;Wiedman, 1989;Kaplan & Kennedy, 1996;Lommerzheim, 1976;Diedrich & �irayama, 2003). From elsewhere in Europe it was reported from France, England, Spain, Sweden, Bulgaria and Romania (Sornay, 1964;Kennedy & Wright, 1979, 1981Mortimore & Pommerol, 1991;Tarkowski 1991;Gale, 1996;Ion et al, 2004;Košt'ák et al, 2004;Woods, 2007).…”

“…The genus Lewesiceras is known from the North European Province of the Boreal Realm and from the Northern Transitional Subprovince (Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Great Britain, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, S Sweden), but it has also been reported from other regions such as the Pacific Province or Tethys Province (Japan, Montana (USA), Madagascar, North Africa, S India, Russia) and Asia (Crimea, Causasus, Kazakhstan) (Moore, 1968;Kennedy & Wright, 1979;Matsumoto, 1979;Kennedy & Wright, 1981, Čech, 1989Lamolda et al, 1989, Tarkowski, 1991Kaesler, 1996;Marcinowski et al, 1996;Wiese & Kaplan, 2001;Ion et al, 2004;Košt'ák et al, 2004;Wiese et al, 2004;Ekrt et al, 2008). The genus Lewesiceras is known from SE France and this confirms migration of this boreal ammonite, during a cooling phase in the late Middle Turonian, in a southern direction (Wiese & Voigt, 2002;Košt'ák & Wiese, 2011).…”

A new species of dercetid (Teleostei, Aulopiformes) from the type Maastrichtian of southern Limburg, the Netherlands

“…an extension of the upper and lower jaws), one or two pairs of transverse processes on each abdominal vertebral centrum, and an eel-shaped body covered with cordiform or tripartite scutes (Silva & Gallo, 2011). Sixteen genera of dercetid, comprising 26 species, are known to date, the oldest one being of Cenomanian, the youngest of Early Palaeocene (Danian) age, with records from Europe, North, Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East and Far East of Asia (Siegfried, 1966;Longbottom & Patterson, 1987;Taverne, 1987Taverne, , 2005aTaverne, , 2005bTaverne, , 2006aTaverne, , 2006bTaverne, , 2008Taverne, , 2013Blanco & Alvarado-Ortega, 2006;De Figueiredo & Gallo, 2006;Ekrt et al, 2008;Taverne & Goolaerts, 2015;Licht et al, 2016;Vernygora et al, 2017).…”
