| Abstract | The Byers Group, exposed on the Byers Peninsula (Western Livingston Island, Antarctica), comprises thick Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous sedimentary and volcanic succession, deposited in marginal fore-arc environments. The mudstones and coarse-grained sandstones of the Devils Point Formation and the President Beaches Formation, which are the most fossiliferous parts of the Byers Group, yielded various invertebrate fossils and plant remains. Relatively abundant and varied in species ammonite fauna was found in the upper Tithonian–lower Berriasian sediments in the Devils Point and a part of President Beaches areas, in the southwestern part of the Byers Peninsula. The main focus of this work is the biostratigraphic interpretation of the newly collected ammonites, belonging to the genera Haplophylloceras Spath, 1925; Argentiniceras Spath, 1925; Spiticeras Spath, 1922; and Protancyloceras Spath, 1924. |
