Paraceratites is an extinct genus of ammonite cephalopods in the family Ceratitidae.
Fossils of Paraceratites are found in the Triassic marine strata throughout the world, including Bulgaria, Cambodia, China, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Montenegro, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, United States and Vietnam.
Johann August Georg Edmund Mojsisovics von Mojsvár was an Austro-Hungarian geologist and palaeontologist.
Daonella is a genus of oyster-like saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks which lived in the middle to late Triassic period. They are related to the genera Aparimella and Halobia. Since they were ubiquitous in the Arctic, Tethys and Panthalassa seas, they are frequently used as index fossils in dating rocks to the Triassic period. However, the systematic classification of the Daonella is still an area of ongoing research.
Anasibirites is an extinct genus of cephalopod belonging to the Ammonite subclass.
The Trachyceratidae is an extinct family of ceratitid ammonoid cephalopods.
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.
Ptychitoidea, formerly Ptychitacheae, is a superfamily of typically involute, subglobular to discoidal Ceratitida in which the shell is smooth with lateral folds or striations, inner whorls are globose, and the suture is commonly ammonitic. Their range is Middle_ and Upper Triassic.
Pleuronautilus is a Nautiloid genus; family Tainoceratidae, order Nautilida.
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.
Trachynautilus is a member of the Tainoceratidae, named by Mojsisovics in 1902, with longitudinal ridges on the flanks of its high-arched involute shell. Phloiocedas from the Upper Triassic of North America is similar except that its venter also has longitudinal ridges. Trachynautilus from the middle and Upper Triassic of Europe has a smooth venter.
