Pseudothurmanniid ammonites within Upper Hauterivian cacareous deposits are present in quarries on Polomec Hill near
the village of Lietavská Lúčka, Slovakia. These deposits belong to the Mráznica Formation of the Krížna Nappe that is a part
of the Fatricum Unit in the Central Western Carpathians. Nine ammonite species are described in detail, one of which,
Binelliceras michalíki, is new. The species identified indicate the Upper Hauterivian Balearis and Ohmi ammonite zones. The
zone of the upper most Hauterivian, Catulloi Zone, is not documented as far as pseudothurmanniid ammonites are concerned. The lack of developmentally younger representatives of the pseudothurmanniid ammonites neither in the studied locality, nor in other Slovak localities, is explained by marked changes in the northern Tethyan margin in Europe during the latest Hauterivian.
