Fissilobiceras
''Fissilobiceras'' ist ein glatter, komprimierter, involuter Ammonit aus dem unteren mittleren Jura (Aalenium/Bajocium) Europas, der 1919 von Buckman benannt wurde. ''Fissilobiceras'' gehört zur Familie der Hildoceratoiden (Hammatoceratidae Hammatoceratidae is a family of lower and middle Jurassic ammonites included in the superfamily Hildoceratoidea. Diagnosis Hammatoceratidae comprises genera which are characterized by ribbed evolute shells (all whorls visible), some bearing keel ...). ''Fissilobiceras'' is similar to '' Shirbuirnia'', except primarily for being more involute and having complex sutures. More of the inner whorls show in ''Shirbuirnia'' and its sutures are simple. ''Fissilobiceras'' also has a low keel running along the venter and only a small part of the inner whorls are exposed in the small umbilicus. References *Arkell ''et al.'', 1957.

Hammatoceratidae
Hammatoceratidae is a family of lower and middle Jurassic ammonites included in the superfamily Hildoceratoidea. Diagnosis Hammatoceratidae comprises genera which are characterized by ribbed evolute shells (all whorls visible), some bearing keels along the venter. Those in the Phymatoceratinae have more simple ribbing while those in the Hammatoceratinae have ribbing that branch higher up on the whorl sides, divided into primaries and secondaries. Taxonomy In the outdated classification of the 1957 American Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Hammatoceratidae was included in the superfamily Hildoceratoidea and divided into two subfamilies, the earlier Phymatoceratinae, and later Hammatoceratinae.W.J.Arkell ''et al.'', 1957. Mesozoic Ammonoidea. Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology Part L Hammatoceratidae is now divided into four subfamilies, the Hammatoceratinae, Erycitinae, Podagrosiceratinae, and Zurcheriinae. Hammatoceratinae includes ''Rarenodia'', ''Geczyceras'', '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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. Pliny the Elder ( 79 AD near Pomp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Middle Jurassic
The Middle Jurassic is the second epoch of the Jurassic Period. It lasted from about 174.1 to 163.5 million years ago. Fossils of land-dwelling animals, such as dinosaurs, from the Middle Jurassic are relatively rare, but geological formations containing land animal fossils include the Forest Marble Formation in England, the Kilmaluag Formation in Scotland,British Geological Survey. 2011Stratigraphic framework for the Middle Jurassic strata of Great Britain and the adjoining continental shelf: research report RR/11/06 British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham. the Daohugou Beds in China, the Itat Formation in Russia, and the Isalo III Formation of western Madagascar. Paleogeography During the Middle Jurassic Epoch, Pangaea began to separate into Laurasia and Gondwana, and the Atlantic Ocean formed. Eastern Laurasia was tectonically active as the Cimmerian plate continued to collide with Laurasia's southern coast, completely closing the Paleo-Tethys Ocean. A subduction zone ...

Hildoceratoidea
Hildoceratoidea, formerly Hildoceratacaea, is a superfamily of compressed or planulate ammonites, some tending to develop acute outer rims; generally with arcuate or sigmoidal ribs. Aptichus were found in place are double-valved.Arkell ''et al.'', Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part L Ammonoidea, (1956) Hildoceratoidea is an upper Lower to lower Middle Jurassic group belonging to the Ammonitina that unites the Hildoceratidae, Hammatoceratidae, Graphoceratidae, and Sonniniidae. In some taxonomies the name Phymatoceratidae is substituted for the Hammatoceratidae Hildoceratidae, which is the ancestral family, is derived from the Acanthopleuroceratinae, a subfamily in the Eoderoceratoidean family, Polyorphitidae. The Stephanoceratoidea, Perisphinctoidea, and Haploceratoidea Haploceratoidea, formerly Haplocerataceae, is an extinct superfamily of ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the Ammonitida that unites three families, Strigoceratidae, Oppeliidae, and Haploceratidae, ...

Ammonitida Genera
Ammonitida is an order of ammonoid cephalopods that lived from the Jurassic through Paleocene time periods, commonly with intricate ammonitic sutures. Ammonitida is divided into four suborders, the Phylloceratina, Lytoceratina, Ancyloceratina, and Ammonitina. The Phylloceratina is the ancestral stock, derived from the Ceratitida near the end of the Triassic. The Phylloceratina gave rise to the Lytoceratina near the beginning of the Jurassic which in turn gave rise to the highly specialized Ancyloceratina near the end of the Jurassic. Both the Phylloceratina and Lytoceratina gave rise to various stocks combined in the Ammonitina. These four suborders are further divided into different stocks, comprising various families combined into superfamilies. Some like the Hildoceratoidea and Stephanoceratoidea are restricted to the Jurassic. Others like the Hoplitoidea and Acanthoceratoidea are known only from the Cretaceous. Still others like the Perisphinctoidea are found in both. R ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
