Arctoptychites is a genus of extinct cephalopods belonging to the ceratitid family Ptychitidae, and related to such genera as Ptychites and Aristoptychites ; all from the Triassic. [1]
The Ptychitidae, to which Arctoptychites belongs, is a family of ceratitid ammonites (sensu lato) with ammonitic sutures and variably subglobular to compressed, ribbed or smooth, generally evolute shells. [2]
Apleuroceras is a genus of ceratitid ammonites with an essentially smooth evolute shell with a subquadrade whorl section and a ceratitic suture with two lateral lobes. Apleuroceras belongs to the Aplococeratidae and has been found in middle Triassic formations of Ladinian age in Hungary and the Alps.
Anatropites is a genus of ammonite in the ceratitid family Tropitidae with spines instead of nodes on the umbilical shoulder, at least in early whorls. Ceratitids are mostly Triassic ammonoid cephalopods.
Anderssonoceras is a genus of small, smooth ammonites with a flared umbilical shoulder, like Prototoceras, assigned to the ceratitid family Anderssonoceratidae as the type, but once included in the Otoceratidae.
Anotoceras is a genus of smooth shelled, discoidal ammonites with a depressed, subtrigonal whorl section and ceratitic sutures included in the ceratitid family Otoceratidae.
Arctoprionites is a genus of extinct ammonites (s.l.) from the Triassic, belonging to the ceratitid family Prionitidae. It has been found in Canada in British Columbia, in Japan, Kazakhstan, and in the U.S. in Nevada.
Balkanites is a genus of extinct ammonites (s.l.), belonging to the ceratitid superfamily Ceratitacea and family Tirolitidae. It is restricted to the Triassic period. As common to the family, the shell is evolute with lateral tubercles. The suture is not elaborate.
Bacchites is a genus of extinct ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the ceratitid family Juvavitidae.
Frechites is an early Triassic ammonite, a kind of cephalopod with an external shell, included in the ceratitid family Beyrichitidae.
Beneckeia is a genus of Lower to Middle Triassic ammonites included in the ceratitid family Beneckeiidae found e.g. in Germany, Poland, and Israel. Beneckeia shells are compressed smooth oxycones, involute with sharp venters. Sutures are multilobed with small adventitious lobes.
Griesbachites is a genus of Late Triassic ceratitids included in the Haloritidae, with widespread distribution from the Alps through the Himalaya and Timur to British Columbia.
Ussuria is a genus of Lower Triassic ammonites with a smooth, involute discoidal shell with submonophyllic sutures, belonging to the ceratitid family Ussuriidae.
Ceratitida is an order that contains almost all ammonoid cephalopod genera from the Triassic as well as ancestral forms from the Upper Permian, the exception being the phylloceratids which gave rise to the great diversity of post Triassic ammonites.
Noritoidea, formerly Noritaceae, is an extinct superfamily of cephalopods belonging to the Ammonite order Ceratitida.
The Haloritidae is a family of subglobular, involute, Triassic ammonoids belonging to the ceratitid superfamily Tropitaceae. Their shells may be smooth or may have ribs that cross or are interrupted on the venter, and may have nodes. Keels and ventral furrows are not typical. The last volution is commonly eccentric. The Suture may be ammonitic, ceratitic, or goniatitic.
The Ptychitidae is a family of ceratitid ammonites. They are combined with the Eosagenitidae and Sturiidae in the superfamily Ptychitaceae.
Sirenites is a genus of ammonoid cephalopods from the Upper Triassic included in the Ceratitida, and type for the trachyceratid subfamily Sirenitinae.
Pseudosirenites is a genus of Upper Triassic ammonites belonging to the ceratitid family Trachyceratidae, like Sirenites, but with a narrow outer rim (venter) that has a nodose keel on either side.
The Hungaritidae comprises a family of ceratitid ammonites described in the Treatise,(Arkell et al. 1957), as involute compressed, discoidal, with keeled or sharpened venter, smooth to weakly costate. Sutures ceratitid, usually with numerous elements.
The Meekoceratidae is a family of ceratitid ammonites described in the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, as being more or less involute, compressed, discoidal, smooth to weakly ornamented; venter arched or tabulate; sutures ceratitic with broad saddles. Now includes four subfamilies.
Sturia is a genus of ceratitid ammonoids from the Lower Triassic with an ammonitic suture.
