II.—Note on Two Cephalopods collected by Dr. A. P. Young, F.G.S., on the Tarntaler Köpfe in Tyrol2
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
The two Cephalopods—an Ammonoid and a Belemnoid—referred to in the present note were obtained in the summer of 1907 by Dr. A. P. Young from the Tarntaler Köpfe, an isolated mountain-mass in Tyrol, to the north of the Tuxer Alps, and about 20 kilometres south-east of Innsbruck. The Ammonoid was found “at a height of nearly 2500 metres above sea-level, on the surface of a scree-cone which has accumulated under the high hanging valley known as the Lower Tarntal”, and the Belemnoid was found “somewhat lower on the slope of the same cone”. They are the fossils referred to by Dr. A. P. Young on p. 342 of his paper on the Structure and Physiography of the Tarntal Mass, published in the August number of this Magazine (pp. 339–346), where a photograph of the scree-cone is given (Pl XVII, Fig. 5), and now form part of the National Collection.
