Asklepioceras
Encyclopedia
Asklepioceras is a genus in the Ceratitid
family Arpaditidae from the Middle and Upper Triassic (Ladinian and Carnian stages) of Europe, Asia, and British Columbia.
Asklepioceras, named by Renz, 1910, is characterized by evolute to involute, discoidal to subglobular shells with a median (ventral) furrow not borndered by keels (in contrast to Dittmarites in which it is) and simple ceratitic sutures. (Arkell et al. 1962, L162) The genotype Asklepioceras segmentatus Renz, 1910, based on Arpadites (Dittmarites) segmentatus Mojsisovics, 1893. is found in the Carnian of the Alps.
Ceratitida
The Ceratitida is an order that contains almost all ammonoid cephalopod genera from the Triassic as well as ancestral forms from the Upper Permian, the exception being the phylloceratids which gave rise to the great diversity of post Triassic ammonites....
