Problems of Ammonite Nomenclature. 2. Schlotheim's Types of Ammonites Capricornus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In my Catalogue of the Ammonites of the Liassic Family Liparo-ceratidae in the British Museum, now in press, I was obliged to discuss one of the commonest and most widely quoted of ammonite species, namely Schlotheim's Amm. capricornus.1 Clearly it was impossible to ignore this species, merely because “its precise application was not known”2 I am not only in agreement with H. Douvillé3 that it is of capital importance always to respect a specific [trivial] name, however much generic names may be changed, but among the foreign ammonites in the British Museum there were several different forms labelled Amm.
