Ammonite
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.

Arietitidae
Arietitidae is a family of true ammonites that make up part of the superfamily Psiloceratoidea, named after the type genus ''Arietites''. They comprise medium-size to large or gigantic genera which in general are strongly ribbed, tuberculate in some, with keeled or grooved and keeled venters, and well differentiated ammonitic sutures. The aptycus is single valved with a shiny, concentrically striated surface. Arietitidae dominated Lower Jurassic, Sinemurian ammonites, worldwide, extending into the lower Pliensbachian. The Arietitidae may have their origin in the Schlotheimiidae if not directly from the Psiloceratidae, and is the probably source for the Oxynoticeratidae Oxynoticeratidae is a family of true ammonites (order Ammonitida) included in the superfamily Psiloceratoidea. Oxynoticeratids have a broad, worldwide distribution but a narrow stratigraphic one, being known only from the Upper Sinemurian and .... References * * Donvan, D.T. and Callomon, J.H. 1981, Class ...
