In Moravian-Silesian museums in the Czech Republic, Vienna Museum of Natural History and Bayerische Staatssammlung für Paläontologie un historische Geologie of the University in Munich, ammonites collected previously in the Štramberk Limestone are deposited. A common feature of all of these older collections is that the finds miss precise localization. Museum original labels usually state only Stramberg of Štramberk. The oldest finds come before the year 1861 especially from the Castle Hill (Zámecký vrch) Quarry. This material was taxonomically processed in a monograph by Zittel (1868). Another collection was processed by Blaschke (1911). His specimens come largely from the Kotouč Quarry (formerly Gutmann Quarry. At present, the stratigraphic position of the presented ammonites can be derived in the case of well determinable species only on the basis of data in literature if such species were also found in other stratigraphically dated sections in foreign localities. Moreover, a significant auxiliary element is the occurence of guide mircrofossils provided by microfacies analysis of associated rocks surrounding or filling the ammonites. We make efforts to define a more precise stratigraphic position of the above-mentioned finds containing stratigraphically important microfossils.
