Dobrogeites
Encyclopedia
Dobrogeites is an Early Jurassic ammonoid from the order Ceratitida
, included in the family Megaphyllitidae that produced evolute compressed planispiral shells with rounded venters, inner whorls ornamented as in Tirolites, outer whorls smooth, suture with multiple smooth lobes; Initially found in Anisian
(lower Triassic) sediments in Romania.
The Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part L put Dobrogeites in the Ceratitacean
family Aplococeratidae. E.T. Tozer in 1981 includes the genus in the Megaphyllitidae, uniting it with Megaphyllites, Metasturia, and Nitanoceras.
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....
