Hamulina is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod genus belonging to the family Hamulinidae. [1] These cephalopod were fast-moving nektonic carnivores. They lived during the Cretaceous period, Barremian age. The type species is Hamulina astieriana.
It may be large. The whorl section generally is increasing rapidly. The short final shaft is generally straight or curved. The main shaft is with dense, fine, prorsiradiate minor ribs and distant, periodic, weakly trituberculate major ribs. The minor ribs are weakened or disappearing on hook and final shaft. The major ribs are strengthened and approximating. The ammonitic suture is finely divided.
Fossils of these cephalopods have been found in rocks of Cretaceous of Bulgaria, Colombia (Santa Rosa de Viterbo, Boyacá), Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. [2]
Abrytasites (Abrytusites) is an extinct genus of cephalopods belonging to the Ammonoidea subclass.
Acrioceras is an extinct genus of cephalopods belonging to the ammonite subclass.
Anahamulina is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod genus from the Lower Cretaceous. Named by Hyatt, 1900.
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.
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.
Pseudohaploceras is a genus of desmosceratid ammonites from the Early Cretaceous; Valanginian to Albian epochs.
Spitidiscus is a genus of ammonites placed in the family Holcodiscidae.
Hamulinidae is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod family belonging to the order Ammonitida. These cephalopod were fast-moving nektonic carnivores. They lived during the Lower Cretaceous period.
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.
Heinzia is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod genus belonging to the family Pulchelliidae. They lived during the Cretaceous, in the Barremian age.
Pulchelliidae is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod family. It was previously classified as belonging to the superfamily Endemoceratoidea. They lived during the Cretaceous, in the Barremian age.
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 is an extinct genus of cephalopods belonging to the Ammonoidea subclass.
