Abstract
<strong class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> The ammonoids from two very prolific horizons in the upper Kahla Sandstone (Tournaisian, Early Carboniferous) of Timimoun (Gourara, Algeria) are described monographically. Nine new ammonoid species are introduced: <i>Imitoceras altilobatum</i> n. sp., <i>Triimitoceras amplisellatum</i> n. sp., <i>Kazakhstania inequalis</i> n. sp., <i>Acrocanites imperfectus</i> n. sp., <i>Xinjiangites scalaris</i> n. sp., and <i>Becanites canalifer</i> n. sp. from the North African <i>Kazakhstania-Acrocanites</i> Assemblage as well as <i>Acrocanites recurvus</i> n. sp., <i>Becanites singularis</i> n. sp., and <i>Becanites inflateralis</i> n. sp. from the <i>Pericyclus-Progoniatites</i> Assemblage. The first of these is one of the most diverse ammonoid faunas known from this time interval. <br><br> doi:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mmng.200900009" target="_blank">10.1002/mmng.200900009</a>
