RT Journal Article T1 Caracterización paleontológica y bioestratigráfica de la especie de ammonites: Perisphinctes wartae Bukowski (Biozona Transversarium, Oxfordiense medio) en las cuencas ibérica y catalana (E. Iberia) T1 Palaeontological and biostratigraphical characterisation of the ammonite species Perisphinctes wartae Bukowski (middle Oxfordian, Transversarium Zone) in the iberian and Catalan basins (eastern Iberia) A1 Meléndez Hevia, Guillermo A1 Bello Villalba, J. A1 Ferrández, Y. A1 Fidalgo, A. AB The ammonite species Perisphincjtes (bichotómosphinctes) wartac BUKOWSKI is precisely localised at the top of the middle Oxfordian Transversarium Biózohe (Rotoides Subbiozone) allowing the recognition of a well-defined biostratigraphic unii, i.e. the Wartae Biohorizon. Per. wartae is usually recognized as the transitional form between the subgenera P. (Dichotomosphinctes) and P. (Dichotomo'ceras) BÜCKMÁÑ. Representatives of P. wartae show clearly intermediate features between both taxa, this évoluiiohary change allowing a precise characterisation of the biostratigraphic boundary between the middle Oxfordian Transversarium and Bifurcatus zones. In eastern Iberia, àcross the Iberian and Catalan Basins, the boundary between both biozones is marked by a sharp stratigràphic discontinuity partly affecting the development of the Wartae Horizon. Yet this biostratigraphic interval has been widely recognised throughout the studied area by the common occurrence of thè species Rwartae, which has allowed thè precise palaeontological (biórhètrical) and evoluiioriáry characterisation of this species PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 1997 FD 1997 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/10276 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/10276 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 31 may 2026
