The genus Costaclymenia in Europe (Ammonoidea, Late Devonian)

Korn, Dieter; Price, John D.; Weyer, Dieter

Abstract

Species of the genus Costaclymenia are, in several regions, common components of early late Famennian (Late Devonian) ammonoid assemblages. Although often cited in the literature, a modern revision of the original material from Central Europe and Great Britain has not previously been undertaken. We revise the following species: Costaclymenia binodosa (Münster, 1832) with the proposal of a neotype, C. kiliani (Wedekind, 1914) and C. muensteri (Ansted, 1838).
