Jouaniceras sp., Eubostrychoceras acuticostatum (d’Orbigny, 1842), Glyptoxoceras crispatum (Moberg, 1885), Baculites fuchsi Redtenbacher, 1873. Jouaniceras hispanicum Wiedmann, 1994 and Eubostrychoceras acuticostatum (d’Orbigny, 1842) are recorded for the first time from the Gosau Group confirming the close connection with the Upper Cretataxa
