Abstract
Abstract The present contribution provides a taxonomic reassessment of the Lower Cretaceous ammonite species Ammonites crassicostatus d'Orbigny (type species of Colombiceras Spath) and Ammonites gargasensis d'Orbigny (type species of Gargasiceras Casey) from the Aptian- type area (Apt, Vaucluse, southeastern France). Those nominal species represent two ornamental poles of a single population, here referred to C. crassicostatum. The genus Gargasiceras is, therefore, synonymised with Colombiceras. Implications on the taxonomy at the specific, generic, and supra-generic levels are discussed. Resumen El presente trabajo proporciona una reevaluacion taxonomica de las especies de ammonites del Cretacico temprano Ammonites crassicostatus d'Orbigny (especie tipo de Colombiceras Spath) y Ammonites gargasensis d'Orbigny (especie tipo de Gargasiceras Casey) del area tipo del Aptiano (Apt, Vaucluse, sureste de Francia). Estas especies nominales representan dos polos ornamentales de una sola poblacion, aqui referida como C. crassicostatum. Por lo tanto, el genero Gargasiceras se sinonimiza con Colombiceras. Se discuten las implicaciones taxonomicas a nivel especifico, generico y suprageneric.
