The Trachyceratidae makes up part of the superfamily Trachyceratoidea along with such families as the Buchitidae, Distichitidae, Dronovitidae and Noridiscitidae. The Trachyceratoidea is also known by the junior synonym Trachycerataceae. Fossil record Fossils of ''Trachyceratidae'' are found in marine strata from the Devonian to the Triassic. Fossils are known from many localities in Afghanistan, Canada, China, Europe (Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine), India, Japan, the Russian Federation, Thailand, and the United States. Description Trachyceratid shells are more or less involute and highly ornamented. They have their whorl sides covered with flexuous ribs that are usually tuberculate. The venters generally have a median furrow bordered by rows of tubercles or continuous keels.

Devonian
The Devonian ( ) is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic era, spanning 60.3 million years from the end of the Silurian, million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Carboniferous, Mya. It is named after Devon, England, where rocks from this period were first studied. The first significant adaptive radiation of life on dry land occurred during the Devonian. Free-sporing vascular plants began to spread across dry land, forming extensive forests which covered the continents. By the middle of the Devonian, several groups of plants had evolved leaves and true roots, and by the end of the period the first seed-bearing plants appeared. The arthropod groups of myriapods, arachnids and hexapods also became well-established early in this period, after starting their expansion to land at least from the Ordovician period. Fish reached substantial diversity during this time, leading the Devonian to often be dubbed the Age of Fishes. The placoderms began dominating ...
