Note on some Late Maastrichtian rhyncholites from Limburg, the Netherlands

Abstract

Upper Maastrichtian rhyncholites (cephalopod mandibles) from the province of Limburg, The Netherlands, were described by Binckhorst as early as 1861. Recently discovered material makes a revision possible. A survey is given of the available material, which was identified as Rhyncolites minimus Binckhorst, from the Late Cretaceous deposits of various localities of the Maastrichtian type area.
