The Boreal–Tethyan correlation of the Bathonian successions is one of the most complex problems of Mesozoic biostratigraphy. The C-isotope variation curve obtained in this study strongly supports the previous proposal of Mitta et al. (2014) to correlate the Oraniceras besnosovi Zone and the Arcticoceras harlandi Subzone of the Sokur section with th...

The chronostratigraphic zonal succession of the ammonoid-based biostratigraphic subdivision of the Ryazanian stage in its type region (the Russian Platform) is discussed. It is proposed to recognize (in ascending order) the Kochi, Rjasanensis, Spasskensis, and Tzikwinianus zones, as the Ryazanian standard. The chronostratigraphic ranges of the genu...

The ammonites of the genus Rarecostites (subfamily Parkinsoniinae) are studied from the lower part of the Upper Bajocian Parkinsonia parkinsoni Zone of the Kyafar River (Bolshoi Zelenchuk River Basin, Karachai-Cherkessia, Russia). The locality contains numerous microconch shells of R. subarietis (Wetzel). We follow de Grossouvre (1919) in consideri...
