The genus Zuercherella Casey, 1954 in the Upper Aptian (Lower Cretaceous) of the Cottonwood District, Northern California

Jean Louis Latil, Michael A. Murphy, Peter U. Rodda

Resumen


The presence of the Tethyan species Zuercherella zuercheri (Jacob, 1906) in the Upper Aptian of the Cottonwood district, northern California, is documented for the first time, allowing confirmation of an affinity between the Tethyan and Northeast Pacific biota during the Upper Aptian, Eotetragonites wintunius and Acanthohoplites gardneri Zones. The paleontological study of very well-preserved material also allows a better knowledge of the adult morphology of Zuercherella zuercheri.
