The present contribution deals with the taxonomy of seven species of perisphinctoid ammonite from the
Štramberk Limestone (Outer Western Carpathians, Czech Republic) deposited in Moravian-Silesian museums. The age
of these studied ammonites is compared with that of index microfossils contained in the matrix adhering to or infilling
the studied specimens. The ammonites document a stratigraphic range from earliest Tithonian to early Berriasian.
In addition to taxonomy and new ontogenetic data on some species, we also present data on their palaeogeographic
distribution. The occurrence of Subboreal himalayitids in the Štramberk Limestone of an early Berriasian age is
determined by both the microfauna and accompanying ammonites, which indicate connection of the Silesian-part of
the Tethyan Carpathian area with the Subboreal Russian Platform Basin. These records also suggest an early Berriasian
age (Jacobi Chron) for the lowermost part of the Ryazanian stage in its type area.
