Abstract
An examination of ammonites from the Doulting Conglomerate Bed (Doulting, Somerset, England) has shown that this bed is Subfurcatum rather than Garantiana Zone in age. This is only the second fully authenticated area of outcrop of this Upper Bajocian Zone in England. The ammonites are described, and their bearing on the correlation of the Upper Inferior Oolite from the Mendips north to the Cotswolds is discussed.
