Dinaritidae

The Dinaritidae family of Lower Triassic ceratitid ammonites removed from the Ceratitaceae as type for the Dinaritaceae, and is said to include Cowboyiceras, Dagnoceras, Dinarites, and Stacheites. Shells are described as being smooth, dicoidal, variably ornamented with simple goniatic or feebly ceratitic sutures and typically only one lateral lobe.

Of the genera listed in the Treatise, 1957, only the type genus Dinarites remains. Previously included Hololobus and Carniolites have been reassigned to the Tirolitidae. Dagnoceras and Stacheites were transferred from the Meekoceratidae. Coyboyiceras, described in 2005 is a relatively new addition.

Families thought to be closely related are the Columbitidae, Hellenitidae, Khvalynitidae, Paragoceratidae, and Tirolitidae.
