Abstract

A characterization of a collection of ammonites from type sections of the Jurassic system of England is given. The collection was assembled in the early 20th century and is held at the Department of Historical and Dynamic Geology, St. Petersburg Mining Institute.

The collection includes the following specimens: Psilloceras eruatum Phillips (old name Psilloceras planorbis Sow.), sinemur, locality Redstock; Gleviceros victoris Sow. (old name Oxynoticeras victoris), bluenemur, Redstock; Androgynoceras capricornus Schl. (Aegoceras capricomis Schl.), Lower Plinsbach, Sharmu g; Echioceras regulare True.-W.
