Berriasellidae
Description | Berriasellinae is a subfamily of very late Jurassic and very early Cretaceous perisphinctoid ammonites in the family Neocomitidae. Berriasellinae comprises generally compressed, evolute genera, typically with furcated ribbing, and in some a smooth ventral band or groove. Berriasellinae are derived from the Ataxioceratidae and gave rise to the other Neocomitidae. The short lived Himalayitidae from the uppermost Jurassic have a similar appearance but differ in being generally broader and having sharper ribbing.
