The Cretaceous Dimitobelidae (Belemnitida) of the Antarctic Peninsula region
The Dimitobelidae is a Cretaceous belemnite family that was restricted to within the 30° S. palaeolatitude for its Aptian-Maastrichtian range. The family is described in detail from the Antarctic Peninsula region for the first time, and the three component genera Peratobelus Whitehouse, Tetrabelus W...
