Carnitidae

The Carnitidae is a family of very involute, compressed discoidal ceratitid ammonites from the middle and upper Triassic that now makes up part of the Pinacocerataceae, rather than Ceratitaceae as previous, in which shells have narrow, keeled, or truncated outer rims, and which may have weak ribs and tubercles. Sutures are generally ammonitic with multiple elements.

Now includes Carnites and Psedocarnites. Other genera included in the Treatise, 1957, have been reassigned elsewhere --Rimkinites to the Rimkinitidae; Klamathites, Dieneria, and Parahauerites to the Klamathitidae; Neoclypites to the Noritidae.
