Bacchites is a genus of extinct ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the ceratitid family Juvavitidae.
Bacchites, named by Smith, 1927, has a subspherical shell with the closed umbilicus, the surface of which is almost smooth except for faint transverse ribs, vestigial constrictions, and a faint threadlike keel. The suture is ammonitic. This genus, previously included in the Haloritidae, was removed to the Jovavitidae, established by Tozer, 1971, which is based on the genus Jovites . Both families are included in the Tropicaceae.
Bacchites has been found in upper Middle Triassic (Carnian) age sediments in the Alps, Timor, and California.
Abbasites is an extinct genus of ammonites from the early Middle Jurassic epoch, included in the ammonitid family Erycitidae.
Acanthohoplites is an extinct genus of ammonites in the family Parahoplitidae that lived in the Aptian and Early Albian stages of the Early Cretaceous.
Albanites is a genus of extinct cephalopods belonging to the ammonoid order Ceratitida that lived during the Early Triassic epoch.
Algerites is middle Cretaceous (Cenomanian) anisoceratid ammonoid with a close-coiled adult shell in which the whorls at that stage are in close contact, after starting off with openly coiled whorls, and in which every rib has a pair of sharp ventral tubercles.
Anadesmoceras is an hoplitid ammonite from the lower Albian of England, included in the subfamily Cleoniceratinae. Anadesmoceras has a shell shaped more or less like a compressed Cleoniceras but with faint ornament only on the inner whorls. The shell has bundled growth striae. The aperture is preceded by several wide sinuous constrictions.
Aspidoceras is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod genus belonging to the family Aspidoceratidae.
Dimeroceratidae is one of three families in the Dimeroceratoidea, a goniatid superfamily included in the Ammonoidea; extinct shelled cephalopods with adorally convex septa and usually narrow ventro-marginal siphuncles.
Tornoceratoidea, also known as Tornocerataceae, is a superfamily of goniatitid ammonoids included in the suborder Tornoceratina. Tornoceratoidea, or Tornocerataceae, is essentially the Cheilocerataceae of Miller, Furnish, and Schindewolf (1957) in the Treatise Part L, revised to accommodate new taxa and new perspectives on the phylogeny.
Tornoceratidae is a family of goniatitid ammonoids from the middle and upper Devonian. The family is included in the suborder Tornoceratina and the superfamily Tornoceratoidea.
Adrianitidae is a family in the Adrianitaceae, a superfamily of ammonites in the cephalopod order, Goniatitida, known from the Middle Pennsylvanian to the Middle Permian.
Euaptetoceras is an evolute hildoceratoid ammonite from the lower Middle Jurassic, included in the family Hammatoceratidae and the subfamility Hammatoceratinae. The genus may be a junior synonym for Eudmetoceras of Buckman, 1920.
Clymenia is a genus in the ammonoid order Clymeniida, restricted to the Upper Devonian, characterized as with all clymeniids by a dorsal siphuncle that runs along the inside of the whorls, unusual for ammonoids.
Placenticeras is a genus of ammonites from the Late Cretaceous. Its fossils have been found in Asia, Europe, North and South America.
Acanthoceratoidea, formerly Acanthocerataceae, is a superfamily of Upper Cretaceous ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the order Ammonitida, and comprising some 10 or so families.
Lecanites is a ceratitid genus assigned to the Danubitaceae, with an essentially smooth, evolute, discoidal shell and a goniatitic suture with many elements. It is the type and now only genus of the Lecanitidae.
Placenticeratidae is an extinct family of mostly Late Cretaceous ammonites included in the superfamily Hoplitoidea, derived from the Engonoceratidae by an increase in suture complexity.
Lytoceratinae is a subfamily of ammonoid cephalopods that make up part of the family Lytoceratidae.
Neocomites is a genus of ammonite from the Lower Cretaceous, Berriasian to Hauterivian, and type genus for the Neocomitidae.
Dufrenoyia is an extinct genus of Cretaceous ammonites included in the family Parahoplitidae. These fast-moving nektonic carnivores lived in the Cretaceous period. The type species of the genus is Ammonites dufrenoyi.
Ophiceras is an extinct genus of smooth, evolute ceratitid ammonites from the Griesbachian, with a rounded venter. Fossils of the genus have been found in Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Greenland, and India.
