Abstract
ZELL, Patrick and STINNESBECK, Wolfgang. Salinites grossicostatum (Imlay, 1939) and S. finicostatum sp. nov. from the latest Tithonian (Late Jurassic) of northeastern Mexico. Bol. Soc. Geol. Mex [online]. 2016, vol.68, n.2, pp.305-311. ISSN 1405-3322.
Based on our taxonomic revision of the ammonite Salinites grossicostatum from the uppermost Tithonian of the La Caja Formation at Puerto Piñones, in the state of Coahuila, northeastern Mexico, we suggest that some specimens described from other Tithonian sites of Cuba and Mexico assigned to S. grossicostatum belong to a new species, here presented as S. finicostatum . Salinites grossicostatum and S. finicostatum sp. nov. are endemic to the ancient Gulf of Mexico and are restricted to outer continental shelf environments.
