ABSTRACT

The ammonite subfamily Gabbioceratinae Breistroffer, 1953, is represented in the

Cretaceous of southern Africa by a unique specimen of Jauberticeras collignoni Murphy from

the Albian Mzinene Formation exposed along the Mzinene River, Zululand. The specimen

shows details of suture, lirae and constrictions not previously known in the species, until now

based on the unique Madagascan holotype alone, allowing a fuller diagnosis, description and

comparison with other species. The holotype and the types of the closely related species

J. jaubertianum (d’Orbigny) and J. villoutreysi Murphy are reillustrated for comparative

purposes.

INTRODUCTION

In two previous papers (Kennedy & Klinger 1977, and in press) the authors

have documented the representatives of the great majority of the ammonite

superfamily Tetragonitaceae Hyatt, 1900 known from the Cretaceous sediments

of Zululand and Natal. In the course of examining the collections of the late

Dr E. C. N. van Hoepen, recently transferred to the South African Museum

from the National Museum Bloemfontein, one of the authors (H. C. K.) recog-

nized a further representative of this superfamily, in the form of a Jauberticeras

Jacob, 1907, from the Upper Albian Mzinene Formation of Zululand.

Jauberticeras is one of the two genera referred to the subfamily Gabbio-

ceratinae Breistroffer, 1953 (the other is the genus Gabbioceras Hyatt, 1900);

the specimen represents not only the first record of the genus from southern

Africa, but also the first record of the subfamily from the region.

Superfamily TETRAGONITACEAE Hyatt, 1900

Family Tetragonitidae Hyatt, 1900

Subfamily Gabbioceratinae Breistroffer, 1953

The subfamily Gabbioceratinae has been the subject of two exhaustive

accounts in recent years (Wiedmann 1962; Murphy 1967), and there is a diver-

gence of opinion over which species should be referred to Gabbioceras versus

Jauberticeras, as well as over the systematic position of a number of species

regarded by Wiedmann as Gabbioceras and by Murphy as Eofetragonites. More

serious is the disputation of the position of Parajaubertella Matsumoto, 1943,

regarded by Wiedmann as a synonym of Gabbioceras and by Murphy as an

independent homoeomorphous offshoot of the Eogaudryceras stock. There is,

however, agreement that the subfamily has its origin in the group of Eogaudry-

ceras (Eogaudryceras) numidum (Coquand). From this the line of descent runs

to Gabbioceras, with G. lamberti (Breistroffer) as the earliest known member of

that genus giving rise to Jauberticeras via J. jaubertianum during early late, or

late early Aptian time. Jauberticeras is confined to the late Aptian and Albian;

Gabbioceras extends to the Cenomanian.

Genus Jauberticeras Jacob, 1907

Type species

Ammonites jaubertianus d Orbigny (1850: 200, figs 9-10) by original designa-

tion (see Howarth 1974 for clarification of the date and place of publication of

Jauberticeras and of Ammonites jaubertianus as type species).

Diagnosis

Relatively small cadicones with a funnel-shaped umbilicus, no flank and a

marked angulation demarcating umbilicus from the broad, flattened venter.

Shell surface lirate with constrictions (sometimes only visible on the mould).

Suture with three umbilical lobes.

Discussion

The authors take this opportunity to illustrate (Fig. |!A—G) a plaster cast

of the lectotype of J. jaubertianum, the original of which is from the Aptian of

Hyeges, Basses Alpes, France. When compared with Gabbioceras (a typical

example of which is shown in Fig. 2A—G), the two genera are best distinguished

on whorl section (following Murphy 1967: 604): in Gabbioceras the venter is

strongly curved (Fig. 2A, C, D, G): in Jauberticeras it is flat (Fig. 1A—B, D-F).

CRETACEOUS FAUNAS FROM SOUTH AFRICA 3

The angulation is commonly sharper in Jauberticeras when compared with early

Gabbioceras (Murphy 1967, fig. 1).

Occurrence

Late Aptian to mid Albian of southern France, Spain, the Caucasus, north

Africa, Madagascar and Zululand.

Specimen D293 in the E. C. N. van Hoepen Collection.

Emended diagnosis

A Jauberticeras with a blunt lateral angle, moderately expanding whorls,

weak lirae and irregularly spaced prorsiradiate convex constrictions and a

prominent second saddle on the internal suture.

Description

Specimen D293 is a beautifully preserved mould of a phragmocone 21,5 mm

in diameter, infilled with sparry calcite, and retaining a short portion of the body

chamber filled with black quartzose glauconitic sandstone. Traces of the original

shell material with delicate external ornament are preserved on the umbilical

wall, but on the outer surface the shell is partially or wholly absent. Dimensions

of the specimen, and others with which it is compared, are shown below.

(D = diameter; Wb = whorl breadth; Wh = whorl height; U = umbilical

diameter from seam to seam; K = umbilical diameter from keel to keel.

The coiling is very evolute, so that the angulation of the successive whorls

is exposed in the umbilicus, giving it terraced, rather than evenly sloping sides.

The umbilical wall is gently convex, whilst the angulation between it and the

venter is abruptly rounded and blunt. The venter is broadly and evenly rounded,

the distance between angulations comprising 84 per cent of the maximum

diameter. The whorls expand quite slowly, so that there is a distinct tapering

6 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM

of the whorls towards the apex in both dorsal and ventral views. The mould

bears low, faint, irregular folds and interspaces, which are markedly prorsiradiate

on the flanks and sweep across the venter with a broad and shallow convex

curvature. Two of these folds are strengthened into broad collars, one at the

beginning of the body chamber, the other at a diameter of just over 20 mm.

These are succeeded by distinct if shallow constrictions.

On the venter, patches of partially exfoliated shell appear smooth, save for

the low folds already mentioned; a few tiny areas preserve fine, dense lirae,

invisible to the naked eye. In contrast, areas of umbilical wall where shell is

well preserved show distinct if fine prorsiradiate lirae, concave close to the

umbilical seam, but weakly flexed so as to be gently convex across the angulation.

So far as can be discerned the whole of the shell was finely lirate, lirae paralleling

the folds and constrictions visible on the mould.

The external suture is well exposed (Fig. 4) and 1s deeply and intricately

subdivided, as is characteristic of other species of the genus. The median saddle

of the external lobe is prolonged into a series of narrow, tapering processes

which strongly recall the siphonal band of certain tetragonitids (Kennedy &

Klinger 1977).

Discussion

Murphy based this species on the specimen figured by Collignon (1963,

pl. 251 (fig. 1080)) which he refigured in dorsal view only (Murphy 1967, pl. 64

(fig. 16), text-fig. 1 (9)). The original description is short, and in it Murphy

characterized the species by its low expansion rate, smooth shell, and strong

second saddle in the internal suture, lack of lirae and constrictions and similar

whorl section to that of the type species. As can be seen from the holotype, here

reillustrated (Fig. 3), the specimen does not quite fit Murphy’s description in

possessing constrictions. There are at least three distinct constrictions on the

outer whorl, markedly prorsiradiate on the flank, and feebly convex across the

venter, each being preceded by a slight swelling. The whorl section, with a

breadth to height ratio of 2,54 at the maximum preserved diameter and 2,08

360° before this, comprises only 68 per cent of the total diameter whereas in

J. jaubertianum, to which it was said to be similar, the figure is 71 to 94 per cent.

The whorl angulation is also significantly blunter. The latter, however, may be

partially due to preservation or even of intra-specific value only, being dependent

on ontogeny (see Murphy 1967, pl. 64 (fig. 23)).

The second internal saddle is, however, prominently developed, whilst the

shell surface is smooth, even under a lens. Close inspection shows that this may

be no more than an artefact of preservation; the originally aragonitic shell has

been replaced by iron-stained sparry calcite, and the whole of the surface of the

umbilicus of the specimen is corroded and pitted. The venter is similarly pitted,

and in places the angulation is covered and accentuated by traces of a succeeding

whorl, now lost. This preservation and the remaining adherent matrix of fine

sandstone suggest the specimen to be from a precisely similar setting to many

of the Albian and Cenomanian ammonites from Zululand which the authors

have studied, especially those found weathering out along the terraces of the

Mzinene and on the Skoenberg, where identically preserved specimens of diverse

ammonites have lost delicate growth lines and lirae by post-mortem processes.

Lack of liration is not, therefore, a diagnostic feature of the species in the

authors’ view. With these qualifications in mind, the Zululand specimen, although

larger than the Madagascan type, can be referred to Jauberticeras collignoni on

the basis of similarities of whorl section, bluntness of angulation, relative propor-

tions (which are similar but not identical), expansion rate, form and direction of

constrictions, and associated collar-like swellings. Because the present specimen

does not show the septal face (retaining as it does part of the body chamber)

the nature of the internal suture is not determinable.

The principal difference between J. collignoni and the type species, J. jauber-

tianum (of which J. latecarinatum (Anthula) (1899: 101, pl. 7 (fig. 2a—c)) is

probably a synonym according to Murphy (1967: 605-6)), lies in the more

prominent development of the second saddle in the internal suture.

Jauberticeras villoutreysi Murphy (1967: 606, pl. 64 (figs 25—29)) (the holo-

type BMNH C68148 is reproduced here as Fig. 6A—G) has much coarser lirae

on the umbilical wall, which give a distinctive appearance to the whorl angulation

(Fig. 6A). In addition, the expansion rate is such that the last half whorl is

almost parallel-sided in profile (Fig. 6B, F), the venter flatter, and constrictions

straight across the venter with a broad, band-like collar associated. In addition

the saddles in the internal suture are of different sizes (Fig. 6C).

Jauberticeras lanternoi Wiedmann (1962: 32, pl. 2 (fig. 2)) has quite different

proportions and whorl section, and may possibly be a juvenile Gabbioceras

(M. A. Murphy pers. comm. 7.3.1977).

J. subbeticum Wiedmann (1962: 31, pl. 2 (fig. 3a—c)} has much coarser

umbilical liration and a different form of whorl section and constrictions, and

again is of dubious generic affinity. According to Murphy (pers. comm. 7.3.1977)

it is probably a Scaphites. |

Occurrence

The holotype of Jauberticeras collignoni is from the Albian sensu lato of

Collignon’s locality 435, ‘Pied Est du Vohimaranitra (Betioky), Madagascar’.

The Zululand specimen is from the Albian part of the Mzinene Formation along

the Mzinene River near Hluhluwe. Precise locality data are lacking, but preserva-

tion suggests it to be from locality 51 of Kennedy & Klinger (1974: 288, fig. 4)

where concretions are exposed in the stream bed and bank extending around

the broad meander of the river east-north-east of the Sisal Factory at 27°53'43’S,

32°19'22”E. The specimen is thus of late middle or early late Albian age (Albian

IV-V).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Our best thanks are due to General M. Collignon of Moirans (Jsere), who

kindly allowed us to study the holotype of Jauberticeras collignoni, and has

helped us throughout our work on the Zululand Cretaceous. We are also

grateful to Dr M. K. Howarth and Mr D. Phillips (British Museum, Natural

History) for allowing us to study the specimens in their care, and Dr J. Sornay

of the Muséum Nationale d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, for help in our study of

Specimens in the D’Orbigny collection.

6. SYSTEMATIC papers must conform to the International code of zoological nomenclature

(particularly Articles 22 and 51).

Names of new taxa, combinations, synonyms, etc., when used for the first time, must be

followed by the appropriate Latin (not English) abbreviation, e.g. gen. nov., sp. nov., comb.

nov., syn. nov., etc.

An author’s name when cited must follow the name of the taxon without intervening

punctuation and not be abbreviated; if the year is added, a comma must separate author’s

name and year. The author’s name (and date, if cited) must be placed in parentheses if a

species or subspecies is transferred from its original genus. The name of a subsequent user of

a scientific name must be separated from the scientific name by a colon.

Synonymy arrangement should be according to chronology of names, i.e. all published

scientific names by which the species previously has been designated are listed in chronological

order, with all references to that name following in chronological order, e.g.:

Family Nuculanidae

Nuculana (Lembulus) bicuspidata (Gould, 1845

Figs 14-15A

Nucula (Leda) bicuspidata Gould, 1845: 37.

Leda plicifera A. Adams, 1856: 50.

Laeda bicuspidata Hanley, 1859: 118, pl. 228 (fig. 73). Sowerby, 1871: pl. 2 (fig. 8a—b).

Nucula largillierti Philippi, 1861: 87.

Leda bicuspidata: Nicklés, 1950: 163, fig. 301; 1955: 110. Barnard, 1964: 234, figs 8-9.

Note punctuation in the above example:

comma separates author’s name and year

semicolon separates more than one reference by the same author

full stop separates references by different authors

figures of plates are enclosed in parentheses to distinguish them from text-figures

dash, not comma, separates consecutive numbers

Synonymy arrangement according to chronology of bibliographic references, whereby

the year is placed in front of each entry, and the synonym repeated in full for each entry, is

not acceptable.

In describing new species, one specimen must be designated as the holotype; other speci-

mens mentioned in the original description are to be designated paratypes; additional material

not regarded as paratypes should be listed separately. The complete data (registration number,

depository, description of specimen, locality, collector, date) of the holotype and paratypes

must be recorded, e.g.:

Holotype

SAM-A13535 in the South African Museum, Cape Town. Adult female from mid-tide region, King’s Beach

Port Elizabeth (33°51’S 25°39’E), collected by A. Smith, 15 January 1973.

Note standard form of writing South African Museum registration numbers and date.
