Pavlovia is an extinct genus of ammonite[2] of the Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous (age range: 150.8 to 99.7 Ma).[1]
Species
[edit]- Pavlovia menneri † Michailov 1957
- Pavlovia pavlovi † Michalsky 1890
Description
[edit]The shells of these fast-moving nektonic carnivores reach a diameter of about 40 millimetres (1.6 in). They are distinctively-ribbed, with windings that do not overlap largely each other. The suture lines are complicated and securely fastened to the shell wall.
Distribution
[edit]Fossils of these ammonites have been found in Tithonian-aged marine strata of Late Jurassic Russia, and in Cretaceous-aged marine-strata of Great Britain.
