| Summary: | Systematic study of Rudists collected from the Upper Cretaceous of Ostuni (Apulia) led to the identification of species, some recorded for the first time in this area. Special attention has been paid to Biradiolites monopterus (Pirona), found in very large number. The conspicuous number of specimens and their excellent preservation allowed us to conduct a series of observations in order to ascertain the range of morphological variability of these species. |
