Abstract

New belemnite species of the family Cylindroteuthididae are described from the Ryazanian and Valanginian sediments of the Nordvik Peninsula, namely Arctoteuthis angusta sp. nov. and Boreioteuthis mirifica sp. nov. The species Lagonibelus necopinus (Gustomesov, 1960), which was previously known only from the North Urals, was recognized for the first time in East Siberia, and the study of ontogenetic changes in the rostra of this species allowed substantiation of its subfamily and generic affiliation.
