Reticuloceratidae

	Reticuloceratidae Reticuloceratidae is one of five Family (biology), families of the Gastrioceratoidea superfamily. They are an extinction, extinct group of ammonite, ammonoid, which are shelled cephalopods related to squids, belemnites, octopuses, and cuttlefish, and more distantly to the nautiloids. Taxonomy Family consists of 2 valid subfamilies: Reticuloceratidae :Reticuloceratinae ::''Agastrioceras'' ::''Alurites'' ::''Aphantites'' ::''Arkanites'' ::''Bilinguites'' ::''Phillipsoceras'' ::''Quinnites'' ::''Reticuloceras'' ::''Retites'' ::''Tectiretites'' :Surenitinae ::''Gaitherites'' ::''Marianoceras'' ::''Melvilloceras'' ::''Surenites'' ::''Ugamites'' ::''Verneuilites'' References The Paleobiology Database accessed on 10/01/07 Reticuloceratidae, Goniatitida families Gastriocerataceae {{Goniatitida-stub ...

	Aphantites ''Aphantites'' is a Lower Pennsylvanian ammonite belonging to the goniatitid family Reticuloceratidae Reticuloceratidae is one of five Family (biology), families of the Gastrioceratoidea superfamily. They are an extinction, extinct group of ammonite, ammonoid, which are shelled cephalopods related to squids, belemnites, octopuses, and cuttlefish, ... which are characterized by involute subdiscoidal shells covered by linear or biconvex growth lines that may be crossed by longitudinal lirae, producing a reticulate pattern. Sutures are simple, the ventral lobe double pronged. Related genera include '' Surenites'' and '' Reticuloceras''.

	Quinnites ''Quinnites'' is a genus of goniatitid ammonites included in the gastrioceratoidean family Reticuloceratidae known from the Carboniferous The Carboniferous ( ) is a Geologic time scale, geologic period and System (stratigraphy), system of the Paleozoic era (geology), era that spans 60 million years, from the end of the Devonian Period Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the ... of the state of Arkansas, USA. Description ''Quinnites ''can be recognized by its thickly discoidal shell with a wide umbilicus and double pronged ventral lobe with a median saddle about half as high as the entire lobe. Umbilical ribs are common. May have spiral ornamentation, constrictions, or ventral groove. Taxonomy ''Quinnites'', named by Manger and Saunders 1980, contains two species, ''Quinnites henbesti'' and ''Quinnites textum'', both removed from Gastrioceras ( Branneroceras).

	Arkanites ''Arkanites'' is a goniatitid ammonite that lived during the Early Pennsylvanian that has been found in Arkansas and Oklahoma in the U.S. Morphology The shell of ''Arkanites'' is subglobose, rather evolute, with a moderately wide umbilicus and a broadly rounded venter (or rim). Sculpture consists of well developed umbilical ribbing, sometimes with nodelike bases, and broad, deep, ventrolateral grooves. The ventral lobe of the suture, which sits on the outer rim, is large, with a median saddle that exceeds half its overall height. The first lateral saddle is broadly rounded, the adventitious lobe is large and pointed. Taxonomy ''Arkanites'' is possibly derived from '' Retites'' and closely related to ''Quinnites ''Quinnites'' is a genus of goniatitid ammonites included in the gastrioceratoidean family Reticuloceratidae known from the Carboniferous The Carboniferous ( ) is a Geologic time scale, geologic period and System (stratigraphy), system of the ...'', all which co ...

	Gastrioceratoidea Gastrioceratoidea is one of 17 superfamilies in the suborder Goniatitina, ammonoid cephalopods from the Late Paleozoic. Shells are variable in form with a broad whorl section and wide umbilicus. Early whorls are commonly evolute. Shells may be smooth or sculptured with transverse striae (fine grooves) and constrictions. The ventral lobe of the suture is double pronged, prongs being relatively wide but sides not diverging. The median saddle is half as high or more so than the height of the entire ventral lobe. The first lateral saddle, which lies next to the ventral lobe is either rounded or subacute. Gastrioceratoideae lived during the middle part of the Carboniferous, from the latest Mississippian to the middle of the Pennsylvanian lasting for some eight million years. Greatest generic diversity occurred during the early Pennsylvanian.
