The First Record of Soliclymenia paradoxa (Hexaclymeniidae, Ammonoidea) from the Upper Devonian of the Middle Urals

The Late Devonian ammonoid species Soliclymenia paradoxa (Münster) is recorded for the first time from the Middle Urals, from the Gubakha Formation (Famennian) near the town of Gubakha (Perm Region, Russia). This species was previously known only from Western and Central Europe and South China. It is the first record of a representative of the genus Soliclymenia Schindewolf from the Middle Urals. The history of the study of the genus Soliclymenia and its species is reviewed. The range of the bed with ammonoids is within the Muessenbiaergia parundulata–Effenbergia lens ammonoid zones, correlated with the Upper expansa–Lower praesulcata conodont zones.
