Habitat: marine, continental slope; demersal, nektonic

This is a monomorph genus of the Ammonoidea. Its species are index fossils of the Anisian and Ladinian ages (Middle Triassic). The ceratitids or «Mesoammonoidea» were Late Permian and Triassic cephalopods with an external shell («Ectocochlea») subdivided into a body chamber and phragmocone with camerae linked by a siphuncle for gas controlled buoyancy regulation. They lived as carnivores in the seas of what is now Europe, Asia, and North America.
