Eleniceras is an extinct genus of cephalopods belonging to the Ammonoidea subclass. [2]
The genus was named after the Bulgarian town of Elena. The holotype is Eleniceras stevrecensis . There are several described species of Eleniceras, including E. nikolovi, E. stevrecensis, E. tchechitevi, E. transsylvanicum. [3] [4]
This animal lived 140–129 million years ago during the Hauterivian in Europe and Tunisia.
Abrytasites (Abrytusites) is an extinct genus of cephalopods belonging to the Ammonoidea subclass. The genus was named after the ancient Roman town of Abrittus, located near the present Bulgarian city of Razgrad. There are several described species of Abrytasites, including A. thieuloyi, A. julianyi, and A. neumayri. They are inflated, with constrictions, have rather thick ribs springing irregularly, singly or in pairs, from umbilical bullae. Their inner whorls closely resemble types species of Valdedorsella. This animal lived 125–136.4 million years ago during the Hauterivian and the Barremian in Europe and western Africa.
Acrioceras is an extinct genus of cephalopods belonging to the ammonite subclass.
Astieridiscus is an extinct lower Cretaceous ammonite. Its shell evolute, covered by dense, simple or branching, slightly flexuous ribs. The sides are slightly flattened, the venter rounded. No umbilical or other tubercles except on innermost whorl. Superficially resembles Olcostephanus.
Barremites is an ammonoid cephalopod genus belonging to the family Desmoceratidae, that lived during the Hauterivian and Barremian stages of the Early Cretaceous.
Desmoceratidae is a family belonging to the ammonite superfamily Desmoceratoidea. They are an extinct group of ammonoids, shelled cephalopods related to squid, belemnites, octopuses, and cuttlefish, and more distantly to the nautiloids, that lived between the Lower Cretaceous and Upper Cretaceous.
Heteroceras is a genus of Lower Cretaceous heteromorph ammonites belonging to the ancyloceratoidean family, Heteroceratidae.
Desmoceratoidea, formerly Desmocerataceae, is a superfamily of Cretaceous ammonites, generally with round or oval-whorled shells that are mostly smooth or weakly ribbed and rarely tuberculate, but commonly with constrictions. Regarded as monophyletic, the Desmocerataceae are derived from the Phylloceratidae, splitting off in the Early Cretaceous (Valanginian) and persisting to the end of the Maastrichtian.
Stoycho Vassilev Breskovski was a Bulgarian paleontologist.
Barremitinae is a subfamily belonging to the Ammonoidea subclass.
Neocomites is a genus of ammonite from the Lower Cretaceous, Berriasian to Hauterivian, and type genus for the Neocomitidae.
Neocomitidae is a family of Lower Cretaceous ammonitids comprising genera with strongly ribbed evolute to smooth, fairly involute shells.
Spitidiscus is a genus of ammonites placed in the family Holcodiscidae.
Hamulina is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod genus belonging to the family Hamulinidae. These cephalopod were fast-moving nektonic carnivores. They lived during the Cretaceous period, Barremian age. The type species is Hamulina astieriana.
Hemihoplites is an extinct genus of ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the family Hemihoplitidae. These fast-moving nektonic carnivores lived in the Cretaceous period, from Hauterivian age to Barremian age.
Holcodiscidae is an ammonite family placed in the superfamily Desmoceratoidea.
Holcodiscus is an extinct ammonite genus placed in the family Holcodiscidae. Species in this genus were fast-moving nektonic carnivores. The type species of the genus is Ammonites caillaudianus.
Olcostephanus is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod genus belonging to the family Olcostephanidae. These fast-moving nektonic carnivores lived during the Cretaceous, from the upper Valanginian to the lower Hauterivian age.
Eleniceras tchechitevi is an extinct species of cephalopods belonging to the Ammonoidea subclass. This animal lived 140–129 million years ago during the Hauterivian in Europe.
Eleniceras stevrecensis is an extinct species of cephalopods belonging to the Ammonoidea subclass. This animal lived 140–129 million years ago during the Hauterivian in Europe.
Eleniceras nikolovi is an extinct species of cephalopods belonging to the Ammonoidea subclass. This animal lived 140–129 million years ago during the Hauterivian in Europe.
