A Late Cretaceous ammonite was discovered from the lower section of the Mugi Melange of the Shimanto Belt in the Kusunoura area, Mugi, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan.The ammonite is identified with Gaudryceras cf. tombetsense reported from the K2 unit (Maastrichian) of the Krasnoyarka Formation, Makarov area, southern Sakhalin, Russia.The lower section of the Mugi Melange is assigned to the early Paleogene, based on a recently obtained U-Pb zircon age.It is reasonable to assume that the ammonite from the Kusunoura area was trapped as an exotic block within the lower section of the Mugi Melange.
