Titanites is an extinct ammonite cephalopod genus within the family Dorsoplanitidae, that lived during the late Tithonian of the Late Jurassic. [1] Its fossils have been found in Canada and the United Kingdom.
Species of the genus Titanites can reach large sizes, with a diameter over 60 centimetres (2.0 ft) for Titanites giganteus and 90 centimetres (3.0 ft) for T. anguiformis. [2] Much larger species, Titanites occidentalis with estimated diameter about 137 centimetres (4.49 ft) is reassigned to genus Corbinites . [3] They were fast-moving nektonic carnivores.
Ammonoids are extinct spiral shelled cephalopods comprising the subclass Ammonoidea. They are more closely related to living coleoids than they are to shelled nautiloids. The earliest ammonoids appeared during the Devonian, with the last species vanishing during or soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. They are often called ammonites, which is most frequently used for members of the order Ammonitida, the only remaining group of ammonoids from the Jurassic up until their extinction.
Dactylioceras was a widespread genus of ammonites from the Lower Jurassic period, approximately 180 million years ago (mya).
In the geological timescale, the Tithonian is the latest age of the Late Jurassic Epoch and the uppermost stage of the Upper Jurassic Series. It spans the time between 149.2 ±0.7 Ma and 145.0 ± 4 Ma. It is preceded by the Kimmeridgian and followed by the Berriasian.
Aulacostephanus is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod genus from the Upper Jurassic Tithonian belonging to the perisphinctoidean family Aulacostephanidae.
Parapuzosia is an extinct genus of desmoceratid ammonites from the Cenomanian to the Campanian of Africa, Europe, and North America. They are typically very large ammonites, reaching diameters of 60 cm (2.0 ft) or more, with the largest species measuring around 2 m (6.6 ft). It possesses a moderately involute shell with flat or slightly rounded sides. Distinct primary and secondary ribbing can be observed in the inner whorls.
Pavlovia is an extinct genus of ammonite of the Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous.
Nannopterygius is an extinct genus of ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaur that lived during the Middle Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous. Fossils are known from England, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Norway and six species are currently assigned to the genus.
Phylloceras is an extinct genus of ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the family Phylloceratidae. These nektonic carnivores lived from Early Jurassic to Late Cretaceous.
Craspedites is an ammonoid cephalopod included in the Perisphinctoidea that lived during the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, found in Canada, Greenland, Poland, and the Russian Federation.
Calycoceras is an extinct genus of cephalopods belonging to the subclass Ammonoidea and family Acanthoceratidae that lived during the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, 100-94 Mya. Their shells had ornate ribs.
Pectinatites is an extinct cephalopod genus belonging to the order Ammonoidea, that lived during the upper Tithonian stage of the Late Jurassic. They were fast-moving nektonic carnivores.
Pygope is an extinct genus of brachiopods belonging to the family Pygopidae. These brachiopods lived in open sea from the Jurassic Period, Kimmeridgian age up to Cretaceous Period, Barremian age. Some of the species are characterised by a smaller or larger perforation through the entire shell in older specimens, while others just have a depression somewhere on the midline. Younger specimens of the perforated species develop a heart-shape and subsequently both extensions merge, thus encircling a central passage which is in fact entirely outside the shell.
Sowerbyceras is a genus of ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the family Phylloceratidae. These nektonic carnivores lived during the Jurassic period, from Oxfordian to Kimmeridgian age.
Protetragonites is an extinct genus of ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the family Lytoceratidae. These fast-moving nektonic carnivores lived from the Jurassic period Tithonian age to the Cretaceous period Aptian age.
Harpoceras is an extinct genus of ammonite belonging to the family Hildoceratidae. These cephalopods existed in the Jurassic period, during the Toarcian age from the Falciferum zone to the Commune subzone of the Bifrons zone. They were fast-moving nektonic carnivores.
Reineckeia is an extinct genus of ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the family Reineckeiidae.
Lithacoceras is an extinct ammonite cephalopod genus included in the superfamily Perisphinctoidea. These fast-moving nektonic carnivores lived during the Jurassic period, from the Oxfordian age to the Tithonian age.
Euaspidoceras babeanum is an extinct ammonoid-cephalopod species that lived during the Jurassic period.
Euaspidoceras perarmatum is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod species that lived during the Jurassic.
Behemoth is an extinct ammonite cephalopod genus within the family Dorsoplanitidae, that lived during the upper Tithonian stage of Late Jurassic Europe and Greenland.
