“…Recently, wieRZbOwSki (2020 included the Galar Subzone into the Platynota Zone. This procedure, however, was not adopted in the most recent overview on the Kimmeridgian boundary including the definition of its base (wieRZbOwSki et al 2023) and needs further discussion.…”

“…However, the Sub-Mediterranean Epipeltoceras bimammatum Zone in half and the Idoceras planula Zone in whole correspond to the Sub-Boreal Pictonia baylei Zone (Głowniak and Wierzbowski 2007). Hence, following recent assignment (Wierzbowski et al 2016), the Wapienno/ Bielawy biohermal complex with associated detritic facies should be considered as representing the lower Kimmeridgian.…”

A relatively rich assemblage of starfish is recognised from the talus facies of an Upper Jurassic (lower Kimmeridgian) biohermal, sponge-cyanobacterial build-up from the Wapienno/Bielawy succession exposed in a salt-dome anticline in Kuyavia region, north-central Poland. The paper presents 8 taxa belonging to 4 genera (one new to science): Boxaster gen. nov., Noviaster Valette, 1929, Tylasteria Valette, 1929, Valettaster Lambert, 1914, and 4 families: Astropectinidae Gray, 1840, Goniasteridae Forbes, 1841, Sphaerasteridae Schöndorf, 1906 and Stauranderasteridae Spencer, 1913. Only a very few representatives of some of these taxa have formerly been reported from the Jurassic of Poland. Two species are new: Valettaster planus sp. nov. and Boxaster wapienensis gen. et sp. nov. The Jurassic starfish assemblage recognised from the Wapienno/Bielawy succession is interpreted as an offshore starfish fauna with the admixture of allochtonous shallow-water taxa. The lithology of the source deposits indicates their transport by storm agitation and/or mass movements. This fact strongly influenced the preservation state, all collected plates being disarticulated and most of them abraded.

Three bearing mid-late Oxfordian and early Kimmeridgian ammonite stratigraphic sections, corresponding to the Santiago Formation, located in the surroundings of Tamán (San Luis Potosí), Tenango, and La Mesa-El Pescado (both in Hidalgo) towns were studied. The presence of the genera Passendorferia, Neumannia, Sequeirosia (Gemmellarites), Perisphinctes (Otosphinctes), and Gregoryceras support the existence of an extensive communication via with the Tethys during the Plicatilis-Transverarium Chrons. On the other hand, for the Bifurcatus Chron, fauna with Tethys affinity is still recognized, including the genera Neoprionoceras, Subdiscosphinctes, Ochetoceras, and Euaspidoceras. In addition, is possible to establish a paleobiogeographic affinity with Cuba, Chile, and Argentina based on the occurrence of Vinalesphinctes, Perisphinctes (Cubasphinctes), and Caracoliceras, which is also supported by the presence of Physodoceras and Subnebrodites in the Hypselum/Bimammatum Chrons. Finally, the record of Passendorferia, Ochetoceras, and Euaspidoceras throughout the entire stratigraphic succession confirms that the connection with the Tethys was present throughout the Oxfordian and early Kimmeridgian. Based on these paleogeographic interpretations, the Tethys influence on the Oxfordian-Kimmeridgian Mexican ammonite faunas is confirmed. For areas currently integrated into Cuba, the record in Mexico of forms with Cuban affinity reveals the existence of a paleobiogeographic entity in the northern margin of the western portion of the Hispanic Corridor; while the faunal affinity with Chile and Argentina is interpreted as evidence of a connection with these epicontinental areas, which favors dispersal by marine currents.
