Abstract: Stratigraphical and taxonomical problems of the Lower Toarcian (Jurassic) ammonite assemblages of the Gerecse Mts (NE Transdanubian Range, Hungary) are discussed. The Submediterranean ammonite biostratigraphy with Dactylioceras tenuicostatum and
Harpoceras serpentinum Zones is established for the studied successions. A simplified stratigraphical scheme with two subzones (Harpoceras
serpentinum, Harpoceras falciferum) and three biohorizons (Hildaites striatus, Harpoceras pseudoserpentinum, Orthildaites douvillei) are recognized for the
Harpoceras serpentinum Zone. Lower–Middle Toarcian Ammonitida fauna is documented: species belonging to genera Phylloceras, Calliphylloceras,
Lytoceras, Dactylioceras, Mesodactylites, Nodicoeloceras, Catacoeloceras, Fontanelliceras, Polyplectus, Harpoceras, Ovaticeras, Hildaites, Orthildaites, Cingolites are
described and figured, a new species, Orthildaites becaudi n. sp. is introduced.Keywords: Toarcian, stratigraphy, Jurassic, Hungary, Gerecse Mts, Ammonitida
