Families

Hildoceratoidea, formerly Hildocerataceae, is a superfamily of compressed or planulate ammonites, some tending to develop acute outer rims; generally with arcuate or sigmoidal ribs. Aptichus were found in place are double-valved.[2]

Hildoceratoidea is an upper Lower- to lower Middle Jurassic group belonging to the Ammonitina that unites the Hildoceratidae, Hammatoceratidae, Graphoceratidae, and Sonniniidae.[2] In some taxonomies the name Phymatoceratidae is substituted for the Hammatoceratidae[3]

Hildoceratidae, which is the ancestral family, is derived from the Acanthopleuroceratinae, a subfamily in the Eoderoceratacean family, Polyorphitidae. The Stephanocerataceae, Perisphinctaceae, and Haplocerataceae have their source in the Hammitoceratidae which is derived from the Hildoceratidae .[2]
