          Abstract

          A new ammonoid species of the Andean endemic genus Andiceras Krantz is here described from upper Tithonian-lower Berriasian levels of the Vaca Muerta and Chachao Formations of the Mendoza Group, in north-western Mendoza Province, Argentina. Andiceras planulatus sp. nov. lies between the last beds with representatives of the Substeueroceras koeneni Assemblage Zone of late Tithonian age and the first bed yielding elements of the Argentiniceras noduliferum Assemblage Zone of early Berriasian age, according to the traditional Andean ammonoid zonation scheme. The particular stratigraphic position of Andicerasplanulatus, together with its easily recognizable morphology makes this species a good potential biostratigraphic marker for the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary in the Andean region.

          Se describe una nueva especie de amonoideo perteneciente al género andino endémico Andiceras Krantz. Los restos asignados a Andiceras planulatus sp. nov. se disponen estratigráficamente entre los últimos niveles con representantes de la Biozona de Asociación de Substeueroceras koeneni de edad tithoniana tardía, y los primeros elementos de la Biozona de Asociación de Argentiniceras noduliferum de edad berriasiana temprana, de acuerdo al esquema clásico de biozonación andina. La posición estratigráfica particular de esta nueva especie, junto con su morfología de fácil identificación, la convierten en un potencial buen marcador bioestratigráfico para el reconocimiento del límite Jurásico-Cretácico en la región andina.
