S2502, Devils Point, Byers Peninsula | Dochev D., Idakieva V., et al (2017) | Byers - Devils Point | The locality of the Devils Point area yielded one specimen defined as Haplophylloceras strigile (Blanford, 1864). One more ammonite has been collected and conditionally identified as Protancyloceras sp. indet. Based on that, we suggest late Tithonian–early Berriasian age for the rocks at the vicinity of Devils Point. | mudstone | 150.8 - 140.2 Ma Mesozoic |
