Abstract

New data on the ammonite genus Pseudokossmaticeras Spath, 1922 have been obtained from several uppermost Campanian–lower Maastrichtian strata of the Fore-Balkan Mountains (Bulgaria). A review of the earlier Bulgarian records of the genus is also presented. The following species are here described and illustrated: Pseudokossmaticeras brandti (Redtenbacher, 1873), P. galicianum (Favre, 1869), P. muratovi Michailov, 1951 and P. tercense (Seunes, 1892). Our newly obtained ammonite records were constrained by the inoceramid zonation that has recently been proposed for successions of the Fore-Balkan area. Hence, the Bulgarian data are of importance for correlation with other occurrences of Pseudokossmaticeras across Europe.
