•Heidelberger et al: Platygoniatites rhanemensis Assemblage – The co-occurrence of the genera Platygoniatites, Neogoniatites, Hypergoniatites, Dombarites, and Sudeticeras resembles faunas from the so-called Nm1a Zone of the South Urals (Ruzhencev & Bogoslovskaya 1971). This zone is situated below the entry of the genus Cravenoceras, and therefore, a late Brigantian age is most likely (Korn et al. 2007).
