horizon. Oxycerites cf. orbis (Giebel) is a
zonal index of the Late Bathonian in other
areas and thus facilitates interprovincial correlation.
Besides, palaeobiogeographic and
stratigraphic distribution of many species have
been modified based on new information. For
example, macrocephalitin species, i.e., Kamptokephalites
cf. etheridgei Spath (1928), Macrocephalites
bifurcatus transient intermedius
Spath (1928), M. cf. mantataranus Boehm
(1912) were previously known from West Pacific,
Indonesia have been now found in Kutch.
Gracilisphinctes Buckman (1920) has been
previously known to occur during the Middle
Bathonian time, the present work extends its
stratigraphic distribution up to the definite
Upper Bathonian horizon. Procerites hians
(Waagen) an endemic species in Kutch previously
known from the Upper Bathonian beds,
its stratigraphic range has been extended down
to the Middle Bathonian. Detail taxonomy of
the newly obtained taxa has been done and in
many cases sexual dimorphism has been recognized.

Obornella Cox 1959, is an extremely depressed
genus of the family Pleurotomariidae.
It first appeared during Toarcian in France and
continued up to the Tithonian. Obornella is a
Tethyan genus restricted only to western
Europe except previous reports of migration
of a species to Kutch during the Late Bathonian.
The present find describes a new species
of Obornella, i.e., Obornella lakhaparensis
from immediately below the Jurassic–
Cretaceous boundary in Kutch. The present
species is quite distinct from other Obornella
species and has many novelties. A detailed
systematic description is provided.

The new epi-byssate bivalve Parapergamidia
changtaiensis gen. et sp. nov. of the
family Pergamidiidae occurs in the Upper Triassic
( Late Carnian–Early Norian) Tumugou
Formation of the Changtai-Gacun area, eastern
Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, China. During
the Late Triassic, this area was an intra-arc rift
of the Yidun Island Arc along the eastern
margin of the Tethyan seaway. The new taxon
has a big byssal gape, prominent byssal retractor
muscle scars, and anteriorly oblique and
posteriorly to posteroventrally elongated
shape. The thin shell is distinctly longer than
high.

Fragmentarily preserved shells – mainly
pro-ostraca, in several cases also phragmocones
– occurring together with arm hooks
and the ink sac of the Carnian (Late Triassic)
coleoid cephalopod Phragmoteuthis bisinuata
(Bronn) from Lunz (Austria) are examined
with the scanning electron microscope and
energy-dispersive spectrometer. The proostracum
bears black, shiny, pitch-like sheets.
The black sheets, the ink sac content and the
arm hooks have a granular ultrastructure of
0.1–1 μm grain size. The arm hooks and black
sheets are micro-laminated; each lamina consists
of fibres. The ink consists of an agglomerate
of grains. On the ventral (internal) side
of the pro-ostracum, the black sheets occasionally
bear agglomerates of homogeneous,
ink-like material along with heterogeneous
structures. The pro-ostracum has crystalshaped
units with lamello-columnar ultrastructure
of the inner layer and plate ultrastructure
of the outer layer. This resembles the Late
Triassic Lunzoteuthis [Doguzhaeva, L.A.,
