The Albian-Cenomanian boudary in the northern part of the Don-Medveditsa dislocations. Paper 2. Oryctocoenoses analysis. Conclusions

Ammonite finds at the Miroshniki site, within the Albian-Cenomanian boundary interval, make it possible to identify the presence of the analogues of the Upper Albian zones Mortoniceras fallax (autochthonous burial within aleurolites) and Mortoniceras rostratum (allochthonous occurrence among phosphorite nodules). In this very section, an elasmobranchian assemblage has been isolated from the phosphorite interlayers; this is represented by 9 series and 13 genera. Small sand sharks Eostriatolamia subulata (Ag.) are dominant in its content.

On the Stratigraphic Significance of Elasmobranchs (Chondrichtyes, Elasmobranchii)) in the Cenomanian of the Volga River Basin (Right Bank)

The paper analyzes the stratigraphic distribution of elasmobranchs in the deposits of the Melovatka Formation (Cenomanian) from the right bank of the Volga (part of the Penza, Saratov and Volgograd regions).
