In the present work, we study 335 specimens of Deshayesitidae (Ammonoidea) from the vicinity of the village of Les Ferres (SE France). The Deshayesitidae is the current key family for the ammonite biostratigraphy of the lower Aptian (Lower Cretaceous). Despite poorly preserved, the studied material could have been identified at species rank in most cases and allowed establishing the biostratigraphic frame of the lower Aptian of the study area. The results are as follows: (1) the studied samples
