Clydonautiloidea
The Clydonautiloidea are a superfamily within the nautiloid order Nautilida characterized by smooth, generally globular, shellsKummel 1964; Nautiloidea -Nautilida, Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part K Nautiliodea, Geological Society of America and University of Kansas press. with nearly straight sutures, in early forms, but developing highly differentiated sutures in some later forms. Where known, the siphuncle tends to be central to subcentral. The Clydonautiloidea, name based on Hyatt's Clydonautilidae of 1900, are more or less the Liroceratina of Shimansky 1962. Classification and taxonomy The Clydonautiloidea, which began in the Late Devonian, combine five families, three of which are restricted to the Triassic. Principal and forming the root stock are the Late Devonian to Upper Triassic Liroceratidae, from which Shimankiy derived his suborder. Derived from the Liroceratidae in the Early Mississippian are this Mississippian to mid Permian Ephippioceratidae. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Liroceratidae
Liroceratidae is an extinct family of nautilids, shelled marine molluscs, belonging to the Clydonautiloidea, consisting of generally smooth, involute, nautiliconic forms with a small umbilicus. The whorl section is usually depressed and broadly rounded, the suture only slightly sinuous, and the siphuncle usually more or less central. The Liroceratidae range from the Mississippian well into the Triassic and may even extend down into the upper Devonian. The Liroceratidae are probably derived from the Rutoceratidae and form the root stock of the Clydonautiloidea. They also provide the basis for the name for Shimankiy's Lirocerina, a suborder mostly equivalent to the Clydonautilaceae. The Liroceratidae gave rise to the Ephippioceratidae early in the Mississippian, which extend well into the Permian, and to the Clydonautilidae, Gonionautilidae, and Siberionautilidae Siberionautilidae is a family in the nautilid superfamily Clydonautiloidea that contains only the genus ''Sibe ...

Siberionautilidae
Siberionautilidae is a family in the nautilid superfamily Clydonautiloidea that contains only the genus ''Siberionautilus'', which comes from the Upper Triassic ( Carnian) of Siberia, Russia. The family, and genus, are characterized by an involute, globular shell covered by fine radial ribs, with flattened flanks that converge toward a rounded venter, distinct umbilicus with rounded shoulders, differentiated suture, and central siphuncle. The suture is goniatitic with the ventral or median saddle of the Clydonautilidae, subdivided so as to have a deep finger-like median ventral lobe bracketed by finder-like secondary lobes and saddles, and on either side, a large claw-like asymmetric lateral lobe. Like '' Gonionautilus'', ''Siberionautilus'' is derived from the Clydonautilidae, only the genus is unspecified. As with ''Gonionautilus'' and more advanced Clydonautilidae, ''Siberionautilus'' is one of a handful of nautilids that have goniatitic sutures as found in primitive ammo ...

Clydonautilidae
The Clydonautilidae are Middle and Upper Triassic nautiloid cephalopods, which are derivatives of the clydonautiloidean family Liroceratidae, that have generally smooth, involute, globular to compressed shells, characterized by a suture with prominent lobes and saddles. The family is known to contain five genera, These are: *''Clydonautilus ''Clydonautilus'' is a genus of nautiloids and type for the Clydonautilidae that has been found in the Upper Triassic of Europe, India, and Timor.

Ephippioceratidae
Ephippioceratidae is a family of clydonatilacean nautilids with shells as in the Liroceratidae but with sutures that have deep ventral and dorsal saddles. This group, which contains two genera, ''Ephippioceras'' and ''Megaglossoceras'', has a range from the Mississippian to the Lower Permian. ''Ephippioceras'', which has the full range of the family, has a broad, narrowly peaked ( V-shaped) ventral saddle and may have been derived from '' Liroceras'' early in the Mississippian. ''Megaglossoceras'' from the Pennsylvanian Pennsylvanian may refer to: * A person or thing from Pennsylvania * Pennsylvanian (geology) The Pennsylvanian ( , also known as Upper Carboniferous or Late Carboniferous) is, in the International Commission on Stratigraphy, ICS geologic timesca ... of North America, with its large, broadly arched, tongue-like ventral saddle is an obvious offshoot of ''Ephippioceras''.

Nautilida
The Nautilida constitute a large and diverse order of generally coiled nautiloid cephalopods that began in the mid Paleozoic and continues to the present with a single family, the Nautilidae which includes two genera, ''Nautilus'' and ''Allonautilus'', with six species. All told, between 22 and 34 families and 165 to 184 genera have been recognised, making this the largest order of the subclass Nautiloidea. Classification and phylogeny Current classification The current classification of the Nautilida, in prevalent use, is that of Bernhard Kummel (Kummel 1964) in the Treatise which divides the Nautilida into five superfamilies, the Aipocerataceae, Clydonautilaceae, Tainocerataceae, and Trigonocerataceae, mostly of the Paleozoic, and the later Nautilaceae. These include 22 families and some 165 or so genera (Teichert and Moore 1964) Other concepts Shimansky 1962 (in Kummel 1964) divided the Nautilida into five suborders, the mostly Paleozoic Centroceratina, Liroceratina, Rutoc ...

Nautiloidea
Nautiloids are a group of marine cephalopods (Mollusca) which originated in the Late Cambrian and are represented today by the living ''Nautilus'' and ''Allonautilus''. Fossil nautiloids are diverse and speciose, with over 2,500 recorded species. They flourished during the early Paleozoic era, when they constituted the main predatory animals. Early in their evolution, nautiloids developed an extraordinary diversity of shell shapes, including coiled morphologies and giant straight-shelled forms ( orthocones). Only a handful of rare coiled species, the nautiluses, survive to the present day. In a broad sense, "nautiloid" refers to a major cephalopod subclass or collection of subclasses (Nautiloidea ''sensu lato''). Nautiloids are typically considered one of three main groups of cephalopods, along with the extinct ammonoids (ammonites) and living coleoids (such as squid, octopus, and kin). While ammonoids and coleoids are monophyletic clades with exclusive ancestor-descendant rela ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Prehistoric Animal Superfamilies
Prehistory, also known as pre-literary history, is the period of human history between the use of the first stone tools by hominins 3.3 million years ago and the beginning of recorded history with the invention of writing systems. The use of symbols, marks, and images appears very early among humans, but the earliest known writing systems appeared 5000 years ago. It took thousands of years for writing systems to be widely adopted, with writing spreading to almost all cultures by the 19th century. The end of prehistory therefore came at very different times in different places, and the term is less often used in discussing societies where prehistory ended relatively recently. In the early Bronze Age, Sumer in Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley Civilisation, and ancient Egypt were the first civilizations to develop their own scripts and to keep historical records, with their neighbors following. Most other civilizations reached the end of prehistory during the following Iron Age. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gonionautilidae
Gonionautilidae is a family in the nautilid superfamily Clydonautiliaceae that contains only the genus ''Gonionautilus'', known from the Upper Triassic (Norian) of Europe and North America. (Alps, state of Nevada) ''Gonionautilus'' has a smooth, compressed involute shell with a narrow flattened venter and angular ventral shoulders. The suture resembles that of ''Clydonautilus'', from which it must have been derived, except for the more highly developed median saddle and bifurcated dorsal lobe. ''Gonionautilus'' (Gonionautilidae) is one of a number of advanced nautiloid cephalopods that developed sutures resembling those of some goniatites in the Ammonoidea Ammonoids are a group of extinct marine mollusc animals in the subclass Ammonoidea of the class Cephalopoda.

Clydonautilus
''Clydonautilus'' is a genus of nautiloids and type for the Clydonautilidae that has been found in the Upper Triassic of Europe, India, and Timor. Its type is ''C. noricus''. ''Clydonautilus'' is the most derived of the Clydonautilitidae, evidenced in its suture. The shell itself is smooth and involute, with only the outer whorl exposed. The diagnostic suture has a small median saddle in the ventral lobe which in turn has a smaller shallow lobe. Those in other clydonautilitids are less complex. References * Bernhard Kummel, 1964.
