Longobarditidae is a family of ceratitd ammonoids known from the early Triassic, included in the Danubitaceae. Longobarditidae includes genera formerly placed in Hungaritidae by the American Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part L, 1957 as well as genera that have been described since.

Taxonomy

Longobarditidae includes 17 genera, 16 distributed among 4 subfamilies plus one unassigned. Six genera were named prior to the first publication of part L of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology in 1957, the remaining 11 since. Arctohungerites, Groenlandites, Longobardites, and Noetingites were previously included in the Hungeritidae, Czekanowskites in the Meekoceritidae, and Pearylandites in the Siberitidae

The Clydonitaceae is a superfamily in the ammonoid cephalopod order Ceratitida characterized by generally costate and turberculate shells with smooth, grooved, or keeled venters and sutures that are commonly ceratitic or ammonitic but goniatic in a few offshoots.

Ceratitoidea, formerly Ceratitaceae, is an ammonite superfamily in order Ceratitida characterized in general by highly ornamented or tuberculate shells with ceratitic sutures that may become goniatitic or ammonitic in some offshoots.

Lecanites is a ceratitid genus assigned to the Danubitaceae, with an essentially smooth, evolote, discoidal shell and a goniatitic suture with many elements. It is the type and now only genus of the Lecanitidae.

The Danubitoidea is a large and diverse superfamily in the order Ceratitida of the Ammonoidea that combines five families removed from the Ceratitaceae, Clydonitaceae, and Ptychitaceae.

<i>Gymnites</i>

Gymnites is a genus of ammonoid cephalopod from the Middle Triassic belonging to the ceratitid family Gymnitidae. These nektonic carnivores lived during the Triassic period, Anisian age.

Gymnitidae Extinct family of ammonites

Gymnitidae is a family of Lower to Middle Triassic ammonite cephalopods with evolute, discoidal shells.

Aplococeratidae is a family of ceratitids from the Middle Triassic with very simplified sutures and a tendency to lose their ornamentation. Shells are generally evolute, more or less compressed, with rounded venters. Ornamentation if present consists of umbilical ribs that disappear outwardly, toward the venter. The suture is ceratitic or goniatitic.

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.
