HOPLITES DENTATUS S O W E R B Y FROM THE CRETACEOUS BASAL LAYERS OF VOLHYNIA-PODILIA
A monographic description of Hoplites dentatus Sowerby, along with its image, from the basal horizon of the Cretaceous deposits of Volhynia-Podilia is given. Paleobiological remains identified in this basal horizon are represented by three assemblages of different age – middle and late Albian, late Albianearly Senomanian and early Senomanian which can not testify unambiguously to the presence of middle Albian deposits in this territory. The age of the basal layer has been defined as the late Albian (zone Stoliczkaia dispar) – early Senomanian.
