Coeloceratidae

Synonyms: Pimelitidae

Wikipedia Abstract

Coeloceratidae is a family of ammonites belonging to the Eoderocerataceae that lived during the Early Jurassic. Shells are evolute, tending to be broadly discoidal with depressed whorls bearing primary and secondary ribs that branch from outer lateral tubercles. Most of the included species have coronate inner whorls and outer tubercles only. In general, Coeloceratids resemble the Middle Jurassic Stephanoceras. Once regarded as the subfamily Coeloceratinae in the Eoderoceratidae, these ammonites are now given familial rank. The Coeloceratidae give rise to the Dactylioceratidae
