Dzhulfites
''Dzhulfites'' is a genus of xenodiscoidean ceratitid ammonoids named by Shevyrev, 1965, for species found in the Upper Permian Julfa Formation of Azerbaijan and type genus for the Dzhulfitidae Dzhulfitidae is a small extinct family of Upper Permian and Lower Triassic ammonoids from Asia, included in the ceratitid Xenodiscoidea and containing only three genera: ''Abachites'', ''Dzhulfites'', and ''Paratirolites''. Dzhulfitidae was name .... The type species, ''Dzhulfites spinosus'' Shevyrev 1965 is based on '' Paratirolites spinosus''. ''Dzhulfites'' is known from the Permian of Azerbaijan, Iran, and Thailand. ''Abachites'' the now considered close relative is based on '' Kashmirites stoyanowi'' from the Upper Permian Bashi Formation also of Azerbaijan.

Dzhulfitidae
Dzhulfitidae is a small extinct family of Upper Permian and Lower Triassic ammonoids from Asia, included in the ceratitid Xenodiscoidea and containing only three genera: ''Abachites'', ''Dzhulfites'', and ''Paratirolites''. Dzhulfitidae was named by Shevyrev in 1965 to contain ''Dzhulfites'' and ''Abachites'' also named by him at that time. ''Paratirolites'' was removed from its previous position in the Ceratitaceae 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. (Arkell .... Species of dzhulfitid genera have been found in Upper Permian and/or Lower Triassic sediments in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Afghanistan, Thailand, and Japan.

Paratirolites
''Paratirolites'' is a genus of Early Triassic ceratites from Armenia and Iran with distinct ribs, prominent ventro-lateral tubercles, and a broadly arched venter. The suture is ceratitic with a large ventral saddle.Arkell, et al, 1957. Mesozoic Ammonoidea. Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part L. Geological Soc. of America and Univ. Kansas press Ceratites are ammonoid cephalopods that lived during the Late Permian and Triassic. ''Paratirolites'' is included in the Xenodiscoidean family Dzhulfitidae along with ''Abichites'' and ''Dzhulfites''. Previously it was included in the Stephanitidae, a family belonging to the Ceratitoidea 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.

Xenodiscoidea
Xenodiscoidea, formerly Xenodiscaceae, is a superfamily within the ammonoid order Ceratitida. The superfamily was named by Frech in 1902, presently contains ten families, only one of which was included in the original Otocerataceae of Hyatt, 1900, the remaining having been added. The Xenodiscoidea has its origins in the Middle Permian in the prolecanitid Daraelitidae through the ancestral Xenodiscidae. According to Kummel (1952) and Arkell et al. (1957) the Xenodiscidae gave rise to the Otoceratidae and Ophiceratidae The Ophiceratidae is a family in the ammonoid order Ceratitida from the Lower Triassic, previously included in the Otocerataceae but now placed in the Noritiaceae as revised. The Ophiceratidae produced sepenticones with compressed elliptical who .... The Ophiceratidae in turn gave rise to the Dieneroceratidae which is considered the source for all remaining ceratitid stocks. All four families made up the original Otocerataceae The Xenodiscidae is removed from t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ceratitida
Ceratitida is an order that contains almost all ammonoid cephalopod genera from the Triassic as well as ancestral forms from the Upper Permian, the exception being the phylloceratids which gave rise to the great diversity of post Triassic ammonites. Ceratitids overwhelmingly produced planospirally coiled discoidal shells that may be evolute with inner whorls exposed or involute with only the outer whorl showing. In a few later forms the shell became subglobular, in others, trochoidal or uncoiled. Sutures are typically ceratitic, with smooth saddles and serrate or digitized lobes. In a few the sutures are goniatitic while in others they are ammonitic.

Ammonoidea
Ammonoids are a group of extinct marine mollusc animals in the subclass Ammonoidea of the class Cephalopoda. These molluscs, commonly referred to as ammonites, are more closely related to living coleoids (i.e., octopuses, squid and cuttlefish) than they are to shelled nautiloids such as the living ''Nautilus'' species. The earliest ammonites appeared during the Devonian, with the last species vanishing during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Ammonites are excellent index fossils, and linking the rock layer in which a particular species or genus is found to specific geologic time periods is often possible. Their fossil shells usually take the form of planispirals, although some helically spiraled and nonspiraled forms (known as heteromorphs) have been found. The name "ammonite", from which the scientific term is derived, was inspired by the spiral shape of their fossilized shells, which somewhat resemble tightly coiled rams' horns.

Upper Permian
The Permian ( ) is a geologic period and stratigraphic system which spans 47 million years from the end of the Carboniferous Period million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Triassic Period 251.9 Mya. It is the last period of the Paleozoic Era; the following Triassic Period belongs to the Mesozoic Era. The concept of the Permian was introduced in 1841 by geologist Sir Roderick Murchison, who named it after the region of Perm in Russia. The Permian witnessed the diversification of the two groups of amniotes, the synapsids and the sauropsids (reptiles). The world at the time was dominated by the supercontinent Pangaea, which had formed due to the collision of Euramerica and Gondwana during the Carboniferous. Pangaea was surrounded by the superocean Panthalassa. The Carboniferous rainforest collapse left behind vast regions of desert within the continental interior. Amniotes, which could better cope with these drier conditions, rose to dominance in place of their amp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
