Abstract
Four species of Lower Triassic (Scythian) ammonoids are recorded from Malakoff Hill, Wairaki Downs, Southland. The assemblage (Owenites cf. O. koeneni, Flemingites cf. lidacensis, Subvishnuites welteri, and Wyomingites cf. aplanatus) clearly indicates that the fauna belongs to the Meekoceras zone (approximately Mid-Scythian), The Lower Triassic (Scythian) formations of the Circum-Pacific Region are reviewed and their ammonoid faunas attributed to the zones and ages of the Scythian Stage.Keywords
