Juraphyllitidae

Wikipedia Abstract

Juraphyllitidae is a family of Lower Triassic phylloceratin ammonites from Europe, North Africa, and Asia characterized by narrow, evolutely coiled shells, usually with coarse ventral ribbing on the body chamber. The first lateral saddles in the suture are diphyllic, with two terminal branches, others exposed sutural saddles are diphyllic or triphyllic, those covered by successive whorls being monophyllic. A few genera are more involute, with successive whorls partially embracing the flanks of the previous. All are compressed and a few lack ribbing. Eight genera are included:
