Noritoidea
Noritoidea, formerly Noritaceae, is an extinct superfamily of cephalopods belonging to the Ammonite order Ceratitida. Noritoidea, defined by Karpinsky in 1889, combines ceratitids with "typically smooth, more or less discoidal shells with rounded or truncate peripheries and ceratitic sutures,...." Keeled or ribbed offshoots may have simpler or more complex sutures. Taxonomy Noritoidea as revised (Tozer 1981) is composed of the Noritidae, Inyoitidae, Lanceolitidae, Ophiceratidae, Stephanitidae, Ussuriidae Noritidae is the type family of the Noritoidea and may have been derived from the Dieneroceratidae through the Xenoceltitidae. The Inyoitidae is based on the Inyoitinae, which was removed from the Xenoceltitidae and elevated in rank. The Lanceolitidae, containing '' Lanceolites'' as the sole representative, was included in the Hedenstroemiidae as the Lanceolitinae. The Ophiceratidae and the Stephanoceratidae were removed from the Otocerataceae and the Ceratitacea ...
