Asturoceras is an extinct late Paleozoic ammonoid cephalopod genus belonging to the Goniatitida, named by Ruzhencev and Bogoslovskaya in 1969.
As for its family, the Dimorphoceratidae, the shell of Asturoceras is completely involute, with a closed umbilicus, and the ventral lobe becomes extremely wide during growth by subdivision. In Asturoceras at maturity the ventral lobe has six bifid branches.
Fossils of this genus were found in Spain [1] and England. [2]
Goniatites is a genus of extinct cephalopods belonging to the family Goniatitidae, included in the superfamily Goniatitaceae. Hibernicoceras and Hypergoniatites are among related genera.
Karagandoceras is an ammonoid genus belonging to the goniatid family Karagandoceratidae that lived during the early Mississippian.
Baschkirites is an extinct cephalopod genus belonging to the ammonoid order Goniatitida that lived during the Early Carboniferous (Bashkirian).
Donetzoceras is a genus belonging to the goniatitid family Gonioglyphioceratidae ; extinct ammonoids which are shelled cephalopods more closely related to squid, octopus and other coleoids than to the superficially similar Nautilus
Gleboceras is a globular goniatitid from the upper Carboniferous of the Urals, named by Ruzhentsev, 1950, tentatively assigned to the Thalassoceratidae, and placed in the subfamily Gleboceratinae. The ventral lobe is moderately wide, with parallel sides. The lateral lobe is serrate.
Umbetoceras is an extinct group of marine molluscs. The genus belongs to the goniatitid superfamily Gastrioceratoidea and family Homoceratidae; with examples being found in carboniferous deposits in the Russian Federation and Uzbekistan.
Uraloceras is an ammonoid cephalopod genus belonging to the goniatitid family Paragastrioceratidae. The genus was named by Ruzhencev 1936 and is a jr. synonym of Pseudogastrioceras Spath 1930 according to Miller, Furnish and Schindeworlf, 1957. More recent classifications however list the two as distinct genera and put Uraloceras in the Paragastrioceratinae and Pseudogastrioceras in the Pseudogastrioceratinae.
Thalassoceratoidea, formerly Thalassocerataceae, is a superfamily of Late Paleozoic ammonites characterized by their thick-discoidal to subglobular, involute shells with narrow or closed umbilici and biconvex growth striae with ventral sinuses. The ventral lobe of the suture, which straddles the outer rim, is wide, and bifid, with a tall median saddle.
Uraloclymenia is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod genus from the Late Devonian, Famennian stage. The type species is Uraloclymenia volkovi Bogoslovskii, 1977
Clyclolobus is a smooth, essentially involute subdiscoidal goniatitid ammonoid that has sutures with a bifurcate ventral lobe, flared outwardly at the end, in which the halves may be secondarily trifurcated, ending in sharp, narrow projections. Lateral sutural elements follow an acuate line that swings first to the front, then sharply to the rear before becoming hidden by the next whorl. Saddles are narrow, cumulous in appearance with short, irregular, rounded sub-endings. Ventro-lateal lobes are trifurcate with pointed, thorn-like projections.
Nielsenoceras is monotypic Paraceltitid genus of ammonoid from the Middle Permian, Capitanian, that is known from sediments in west Texas. The genus is distinguished by exceptionally broad prongs of the ventral lobe and by the presence of a shallow groove on the outer flanks.
Doulingoceras is a genus of ammonoid within the ceratitid order, found in China, that lived during the Late Permian during the time span from about 260.5 to 254 million years ago. The genus is included in the family Paraceltitidae, which belongs to the superfamily Xenodiscaceae.
Biloclymenia is a genus in the ammonoid order Clymeniida which is characterized by a dorsal retrosiphonitic siphuncle with long adapically pointing septal necks.
Falcitornoceras is a goniatitid ammonite from the Late Devonian, early Famennian, that has been found in France and Spain. Falcitornoceras was named by House and Price, 1985, and is the type genus for the subfamily Falcitornoceratinae.
Planitornoceras is a genus included in the goniatitid subfamily Aulatornoceratinae that lived during the Famennian stage at the end of the Devonian. Its shell is extremely compressed, subinvolute to subevolute with an open umbilicus. Sides are always flat, outer rim (=venter) tabulate to slightly keeled. No constrictions or spiral grooves, but some species have broad spiral depressions. The adventitious lobe of the suture is widely rounded and asymmetric, the ventral lobe and saddle small, the dorsolateral saddle relatively short.
Polonoceras is a genus included in the goniatitid subfamily Aulatornoceratinae named by Dybczynski, 1913. The type species is Polonoceras planum Dybczynski. According to Miller, et al. in the American Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, 1957, Polonoceras is a subgenus of Tornoceras.
Pronorites is a prolecanitid genus from the middle and upper Carboniferous, upper Mississippian and Pennsylvanian. Distribution is wide spread.
Darvasiceras was a prolecanitid ammonoid cephalopod from the Early or Lower Permian Chelamchin Formation of Tajikistan. The genus is included in what is now the superfamily Medlicottioidea. The type species is Darvisciceras minum.
Eowellerites is genus of ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the Welleritidae family. Species belonging to this genus lived in middle Pennsylvanian (Moscovian). Its fossils were found in USA and Japan. It had thinly discoidal shells with a quite wide umbilicus (U/D = 0.3 - 0.5). While in juvenile stages (up to 15 mm in diameter) venter is moderately rounded, it becomes slightly rounded to flattened when becoming mature (100 mm in diameter). 12-lobed suture has adventitious lobe on the first lateral saddle and is also characterized by an addition of an umbilical lobe. Sutural formula is (V1 V1) L1 L (U1 U2): I D. It has evolved from Winslowoceras henbesti and gave rise to genus Wellerites.
Aulacaganides is monospecific genus of a Middle Permian ammonite belonging to the goniatitid family Pseudohaloritidae. Fossils belonging to this genera were found in Hunan province of China.
