Two specimens of a pachydiscid ammonite, a fragmentary silicified phragmocone from the Kunrade Limestone facies at Kunrade (Schunck), and a partial external mould preserved in flint from the Nekum Member (both Maastricht Formation, Belemnitella junior Zone of authors) at the former Blom quarry (Berg en Terblijt), are identified as Pachydiscus (P.) noetlingi Kennedy, 1999, a species previously known only from the Upper Maastrichtian of Baluchistan (Pakistan). This new record underscores the proposal of incursions of Tethyan biota into the type area of the Maastrichtian Stage, previously documented for other groups, including echinoderms and bivalves, as well.
