Abstract

New species of Paramegateuthis (Megateuthididae) and Cylindroteuthis (Cylindroteuthididae) are described from the Bajocian–Bathonian boundary interval of the Yuryung-Tumus Peninsula, northern Siberia, Russia. Additionally, Paramegateuthis subishmensis Stoyanova-Vergilova, 1983, first documented from the Sub-Mediterranean region, is described herein from the Arctic. We propose the presence of a temporary passage between the Boreal and Tethyan seas in the European part of Russia during the Early Bajocian Humphriesianum Chronozone as an explanation of the migration of P. subishmensis. New belemnite records from the Yuryung-Tumus section contribute to the palaeontological characteristics of the Arctic domain.

Kurzfassung

Neue Arten von Paramegateuthis (Megateuthididae) und Cylindroteuthis (Cylindroteuthididae) aus dem Bajocium–Bathonium-Grenzintervall der Yuryung-Tumus-Halbinsel in Nordsibirien (Russland) werden beschrieben. Desweiteren wird Paramegateuthis subishmensis Stoyanova-Vergilova, 1983, zuvorderst submediterran nachgewiesen, aus der Arktis nachgewiesen. Deshalb schlagen wir, zur Erklärung für die Migration von P. subishmensis, die Anwesenheit einer temporären Passage (im europäischen Teil von Russland) zwischen dem Boreal- und dem Tethys-Meer im frühen Bajocium (Humphriesianum Chronozone) vor. Die neuen Belemnitenbelege aus dem Yuryung-Tumus-Profil erbringen einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Paläontologie der Arktis.
