Anasirenites is a genus of extinct ammonoid cephalopods within the family Trachyceratidae which is part of the ceratitid superfamily Clydonitaceae; sometimes considered a subgenus of Sirenites . Anasirenites is characterized by a ventral furrow bordered on either side by a continuous keel. The shell, as for Sirenites, is compressed with whorls flattened-convex on the sides. Sigmoidal ribs on the flanks bifurcate near the ventro-lateral shoulder on tubercles and project sharply adorally. Whorl sides are tuberculate with tubercles arranged in spiral lines. The suture is ammonitic. Anasirenites, first described by Mojsisovics in 1893 is known from the Upper Triassic of the Alps, Sicily, and the Himalaya.

<i>Forresteria</i> Genus of molluscs (fossil)

Forresteria is an extinct genus of cephalopod belonging to the subclass Ammonoidea. They flourished during the late Turonian and early Coniacian of the Late Cretaceous, and were global in extent. Forresteria alluaudi and Forresteria hobsoni are considered marker fossils for the lower Coniacian in the American West.

Pachyceratidae is a family of Perisphinctoidean ammonites from the upper Middle - and lower Upper Jurassic. Genera within the Pachyceratidae have shells that are in general moderately involte but with most of the inner whorls exposed; whorl sections subquadrate to subtrapezoidal, with rounded venter. Ribbing is strong, in some sharp. Primary ribs typically branch above mid flanks into twos, threes, and even fours.

Eoderoceras is an evolute, round whorled ammonite from the Lower Jurassic with an outer row of distinct spines, and in some, an inner row of tubercles, on either side; ribs only on the inner whorls.

Hecticoceras is an ammonite genus belonging to the haploceratoid family Oppeliidae, that lived during the Middle and Late Jurassic, from the Callovian. Hecticoceras may be seen as a series of some nine subgenera, beginning with the lower Callovian H. (Hecticoceras) and H. (Hecticoceratoides) and ending with the lower Oxfordian H. (Pseudobrightia) and H. (Eochetoceras). Hecticocerassensu lato and Prohecticoceras from the underlying Bathonian form the oppeliid subfamily, Hecticoceratinae.
