Jurassic
The Jurassic ( ) is a Geological period, geologic period and System (stratigraphy), stratigraphic system that spanned from the end of the Triassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Cretaceous Period, approximately Mya. The Jurassic constitutes the middle period of the Mesozoic, Mesozoic Era and is named after the Jura Mountains, where limestone strata from the period were first identified. The start of the Jurassic was marked by the major Triassic–Jurassic extinction event, associated with the eruption of the Central Atlantic magmatic province, Central Atlantic Magmatic Province. The beginning of the Toarcian Stage started around 183 million years ago and is marked by an extinction event associated with widespread Anoxic event, oceanic anoxia, ocean acidification, and elevated temperatures likely caused by the eruption of the Karoo-Ferrar, Karoo-Ferrar large igneous provinces. The end of the Jurassic, however, has no clear boundary with the Cretaceous and i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 Perisphinc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Perisphinctoidea
Perisphinctoidea, formerly Perisphinctaceae, is a superfamily of Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) to Lower Cretaceous (Barremian) ammonites, commonly with evolute shells with strong ribbing that typically divides about mid flank before crossing the venter. Classification Some 16 families have been recognized in the Perisphinctoidea. The following is based on Donovan ''et al.'' 1981Donovan, Callomon and Howarth 1981 Classification of the Jurassic Ammonitina; Systematics Association. with modification from the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part L (1957) * Perisphinctidae: Middle and Upper Jurassic root stock, derived from the Stephanoceratidae (Middle Jurassic direct derivatives of the Perisphinctidae) * Morphiceratidae * Tulitidae * Reineckeiidae *Pachyceratidae * Aspidoceratidae (early Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) derivatives of Perisphinctidae) *Aulacostephanidae *Ataxioceratidae (mid Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) derivatives of the Ataxioceratidae) * Dorsoplanitidae ...
