The species occur in three successive horizons and can be attributed to the <i>Bollandites-Bollandoceras</i> Genus Zone (Early and Middle Viséan). They represent the most diverse ammonoid fauna known from this time interval. <br><br> doi:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mmng.200900013" target="_blank">10.1002/mmng.200900013</a>
