Abstract
The ammonoid genus Churkites, a typical representative of the Early Olenekian assemblage (Anasibirites nevolini Zone) in South Primorye, is reported for the first time in the top part of the Tri Kamnya section located on the western coast of the Ussuri Gulf. Churkites cf. syaskoi Zakh. et Shig. was found in association with Inyoites, Clypeoceras, Owenites, Juvenites, Prionites, Glyptophiceras, Brayardites, Mianwaliites, Pseudoflemingites, Aspenites, Rohillites, Pseudoaspedites, Anaxenaspis, Anasibirites, Monneticeras?, Shamaraites, Palaeokazakhstanites, Xenoceltites, and Arctoceras ammonoids; the majority of these are known from the SMID section (Artem), where the Anasibirites nevolini Zone has been studied in great detail. In the region of Smolyaninovo Village, the type locality of Churkites syaskoi, the latter was found in association with Clypeoceras, Juvenites, Mianwaliites, Prionitidae gen. et sp. indet., as well as Preflorianites? and Hanielites?. Ammonoids from the Smithian Substage of the Olenekian Stage of the Ungun (Khabarovsk Region) and Pereval’nyi (South Primorye) sections have also been revised.
